Lesions measuring more than 4 cm in diameter are known as “giant hemangiomas” and may cause various symptoms or complications depending on the size, the location, and the degree of compression of adjacent structures. Pulmonary embolism is a very rare complication of giant hepatic hemangiomas. In this case report, we describe a patient with acute pulmonary emboli, which presumably originated from laminar thrombi in the inferior vena cava caused by compression by giant hepatic hemangiomas.}, number={15}, journal={The Southwest Respiratory and Critical Care Chronicles}, author={Hatice Duygu Bas, Hatice Duygu and Rassameehiran, Supannee and Baser, Kazim and Srisung, Weeraporn and Bashir, Mamoun and Woreta, Tinsay}, year={2016}, month={Jun.}, pages={66-69} }
