Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease involving multiple organs, including the liver. In SLE, the best-known involvement of the liver is autoimmune hepatitis. Hepatic hemangioma is the most common benign liver mass in the general population. In most patients, liver hemangioma is incidentally detected during abdominal imaging performed for another reason. Not many studies are available on hepatic hemangioma during SLE. A few case reports have been published in the literature, and the frequency of hepatic hemangioma in SLE was examined in a prospective study. Here, we report a 36-year-old woman diagnosed with SLE based on autoimmune hemolytic anemia, generalized lymphadenopathy, pleural effusion, renal involvement, and serological findings. A mass in the liver was detected on abdominal ultrasonography (USG), and multiple hepatic hemangiomas were detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the liver. In this case report, a patient with SLE diagnosed with multiple hepatic hemangiomas was reported, and attention was drawn to the fact that the incidence of hepatic hemangioma in SLE may be increased.
