Received October 28, 1977; The peritoneoscopic findings of cavernous hemangiomas of the liver observed in seven cases were classified into the following four types. Type I: Patches, mostly disseminated. Dark or purplish blue in color. Type II: Localized protuberance, like a cutaneous cavernous hemangioma with various colors. Type III: Cystic mass, mostly dark blue in color. Type IV: Diffuse protuberance of the liver surface due to occult mass. In giant hepatic cavernous hemangiomas, usually two or more types of hemangiomas were observed on the surface of the same liver. These various features of hepatic hemangiomas could be defined by the size of the hemangioma, its location within the liver and the nature of its capsule.
