Also known as liver lesions, liver masses are abnormal growths of liver cells. There are two categories: malignant (cancerous) and benign (noncancerous). Some examples of the types of malignant masses are angiosarcoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and hemangiosarcoma. Examples of benign masses, on the other hand, are hepatocellular adenoma, hepatic cysts, and cavernous hemangioma.
The cause of any type of liver lesion isn’t clear; however, some possible ones are smoking, long-term use of birth control pills/anabolic steroids, genetic mutations, cirrhosis, and malformation of arteries.
People with a higher risk of developing liver lesions are those who are overweight, have a substance abuse problem, have cirrhosis, have fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol, or are diabetic.
Symptoms like unintentional weight loss, nausea, enlarged liver/spleen, itchiness, jaundice, and appetite loss, only appear during the later stages or when the tumor is too big.
To diagnose liver mass, a practitioner will do a physical exam, observe one’s physical symptoms, and have the patient undergo blood tests and imaging tests like MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, and PET scans.
Treatment varies depending on several factors. However, generally, common treatments are surgery, transplant, chemotherapy, thermal ablation, radiation therapy, and certain medications.
