    We report a case with two giant hemangiomas of the liver that caused cavernous transformation of the portal vein in a 45-yr-old full term pregnant woman. The patient had no serious complaints other than a mass and slight pain in the right upper quadrant and there were no abnormalities in laboratory values. Delivery was performed without complication. In the six month follow-up period, no changes were seen in the lesions.
