The indication of surgery was abdominal pain with large sizes tumors, rapid growth, and spontaneous rupture with haemoperitoneum.Surgical treatment either liver resection or living liver transplantation. Results:  33 cases (67.6%)  were females &11cases  (32.4%)  were males, median age 38.8 years. Haemangiomas were located in right lobe in 19 patients(55.9%), left lobe in 12 patients (35.4%) in both lobes in 2 patients (5.8%), scattered all over  both lobe in one patient(2.9%), solitary  in 27 cases (79.4%)  and multiple in 7 patients (20.6%).The diameter  was 8-27 em, mean 18.6 em in diameter. 33 patients had liver resection (29 elective resection and 4 emergent resection for rupture).
