Diffuse Hepatic Hemangiomatosis of rapid growth after Bariatric Surgery

A 59 year-old man with severe obesity was referred to our hospital for an evaluation to undergo Bariatric Surgery (BS). At the time of evaluation, his Body Mass Index was 41.9kg/m2. An abdominal Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed nodular formation of unknown cause in the liver (Fig. 1A and B). A Histopathological Exam (HE) was then performed, which demonstrated hepatic hemangiomas. After evaluation, the patient underwent a laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery without any post-operative complications.
