Hepatic hemangioma is one of the most common benign liver tumors. There are few published reports regarding transplantation using allografts with hemangioma.A 45-year-old man was evaluated as a living donor for 19-year-old son cirrhosis due to hepatic fibrosis. Preoperative investigations revealed 20 and 7mm hemangiomas, at segment 2 (S2) 4 (S4) respectively. Considering anatomical relation S2 Glisson 2, graft designed left lobe excluded by partial resection. Estimated recipient weight ratio (GRWR) even after resection reasonable. During operation, performed. Intraoperative pathologic findings cavernous hemangioma, then, caudate harvested. Actual GRWR 0.90%. Donor's postoperative course uneventful. Recipient's post-operative almost Postoperative computed tomography showed regeneration without increase or recurrence hemangioma.Organ shortage major concern in field transplantation. A novel source further option extremely crucial guarantee We experienced first case adult-to-adult allograft hemangioma.We advocate that use hemangiomas LDLT settings can be remarkable strategy reduce problem organ any unfavorable consequences both recipient.
