Hepatic hemangiomas may rarely arise outside the extra-hepatic capsule. It appears as a pedunculated mass. We report the case of a 58-year-old female presenting with abdominal chronic pain. Incidental diagnosis of a pedunculated hepatic hemangioma was suggested by ultrasonography confirmed by typical imaging features on computed tomography. Dynamic contrast- enhanced computed tomography and MR scan are relevant to approach the diagnosis of hemangioma, showing its origin from the liver edge and typical radiological features Surgical removal of the mass was performed to prevent volvulus along the pedicle. Pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of pedunculated benign hepatic hemangioma.
