Hepatic hemangioma is a common benign tumor and transarterial embolization (TAE) represents a minimally invasive treatment. Subcapsular hematoma (SCH) is an exceptionally rare complication after TAE without a standardized protocol. A 43-year-old woman developed a large SCH in the right lobe of the liver 8 days after a failed attempt at TAE for a caudate lobe hemangioma. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed SCH adjacent to the hemangioma, worsened by a drop in hemoglobin and hemorrhagic shock. She urgently underwent laparoscopic evacuation of approximately 2000 ml of hematoma and enucleation of the hemangioma through a left-sided approach using the ligament of Arantius. Anesthesia included low central venous pressure to minimize bleeding. This is the first report of SCH after angiography or attempted TAE and the only case of laparoscopic treatment of SCH in a caudate lobe hemangioma. Laparoscopic surgery is an effective option for managing such a complication.
