Objective To explore the epidemiological and clinical features of hepatic hemangioma. Methods The clinical data of patients with hepatic hemangioma who were diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from 2003 to 2011 were retrospectively analyzed, and then analyzed the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of hepatic hemangioma. Results Eight hundreds and eighteen patients with hepatic hemangioma were included in the study.Among them, 398 cases (48.7%) were male, 420 cases (51.3%) were female, and there were no significant differences in constitute of gender for each year (χ²=9.912, P=0.271), but there were significant differences in constitute of gender between different age groups (χ²=18.791, P=0.000 1), male patients were more than female in the group of aged over 60 years old.There was no special clinical manifestations of hepatic hemangioma.There were 75 patients (9.2%) combined autoimmune diseases in this group.The size of hepatic hemangioma ranged from 0.5-39.0 cm, the median diameter was 3.0 cm.There were significant differences between different gender, the tumor size of female patients were larger than male's (P < 0.05).The tumor happened mostly in the right hepatic lobe (57.2%), and there were no significant differences of the tumor location in different gender (P > 0.05).Hepatic hemangioma with a single lesion was most common (70.0%), and the right lobe lesions were more common than the left lobe lesions in single lesion group, multiple lesions in double lobes were most common in multiple lesion group. Conclusions Hepatic hemangioma has a certain distribution pattern in gender, age, size, position, and so on, further research in prevention and controlled strategy need to be carried out in the future.At the same time, more in-depth research in the related factors participated in occurrence and development of hepatic hemangioma also need to be carried out, especially for the relationship between gender, age, autoimmune diseases, and hepatic hemangioma, which is worthy to be discussed.
