Description

Sierra R Parkinson and colleagues report a 2026 case of arteriovenous hemangiomas as a sign of chronic liver disease. Skin abnormalities are common in liver disorders, with the skin a major target for signs outside the liver. Common findings include spider angiomas, palmar redness, caput medusa, plus nail changes. This report covers arteriovenous hemangiomas in a patient with alcohol-induced chronic liver disease.

After an orthotopic liver transplant, follow-up ten weeks later showed a marked shrinkage of the arteriovenous hemangiomas plus clear improvement of spider angiomas. That shrinkage after transplant supports prior evidence that treating the underlying liver disease leads to hemangioma regression. Skin findings can be the first symptoms patients report or doctors spot. Familiarity with common and uncommon skin changes in liver disease aids prompt recognition.
