    Slide 71: Liver with hemangioma
     
     
    This should be obvious to the most casual of observers. One can easily see the altered area of the tissue with the many vascular channels filled with blood.

    See this slide with the virtual microscope.

    Just look at this slide on a white background, and you will have no trouble finding the area of abnormality. The vessels have cavernous lumens, and walls that look like hybrids between vein and artery. This hemangioma is benign and congenital. They can become a problem by thrombosing, bleeding or becoming infected. Most of the time they are quiet, and are incidental discoveries while surgery is going on for some other condition.
