%X <span>Hemangioma is the most common benign tumor affecting the liver in 7% of general population. One of the rare presentations of this pathology is gigantic liver hemangioma, reported in the literature as anecdotal cases. In selected cases, liver transplantation has been a therapeutic option. We herein describe a case of massive liver </span><span>hemangioma</span><span> which was submitted to liver transplant, and the main indication for liver transplant in this case was a severe psychosocial impact of the disease in the patient¡¯s life, altogether with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome and abdominal discomfort.</span><span></span>
