Question
How should neonatal hepatic hemangioma be treated?
Answer
Hepatic hemangioma is a benign tumor of the liver. Small hemangiomas often present no symptoms, while larger ones may cause pain in the liver area. Tumors with a diameter less than 5 centimeters and without symptoms typically do not require treatment, but regular monitoring is recommended. For hemangiomas larger than 5 centimeters, interventional treatment is suggested, which is a minimally invasive surgery with quick recovery and good results. Once a child is diagnosed with pediatric liver disease, parents should immediately cooperate with the doctor for treatment, undergo gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also avoid allowing children to be picky eaters or have a biased diet, ensuring a reasonable dietary habit.
