Hepatic Artery Aneurysms (HAA) are rare vascular lesions which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in the event of rupture. Early diagnosis and expedient management are therefore important to optimise outcome. Here we report a case of a giant Hepatic Artery Aneurysms (HAA) found incidentally on Computerised Tomography, successfully managed without complication by elective surgical repair.
