Hepatic hemangiomas may result from abnormal development of blood vessel tissue in the liver, or from viral or bacterial infections affecting the capillaries in the liver, leading to local deformation. In women, hepatic hemangiomas may also be associated with changes in hormonal levels. Additionally, factors such as dietary habits and emotional state may also contribute.
