Hemangiomas are considered the most common benign liver tumors, have vascular origin and in the vast majority of cases are asymptomatic. Its prevalence is estimated to be 1.4 to 20% in the general population. Objective: To present the case of a 37-year-old patient, who despite having a giant hepatic hemangioma, remained under conservative treatment, without the need for surgical intervention. Case report: Female patient, 37 years old, comes to the service for an MRI after accidentally discovering a liver nodule through an abdominal ultrasound. The patient denied the presence of any type of symptom. The imaging examination revealed a giant hemangioma, measuring 14x8cmx8cm in its longest axis. Conclusion: Even given the situation described, there are no consistent reasons in the literature for performing surgeries with preventive intent. The patient continues to be monitored by a specific team with no surgical proposal to date
