Some causes of liver legions could be from Hemangioma (a benign tumor composed of abnormal blood vessels that form during development in the womb), Liver Adenoma (another benign tumor from from the abnormal growth of liver cells), Granuloma (inflammatory tissue possibly caused from an infection) or other non-life threatening causes. The most dangerous cause could be liver cancer or metastatic liver.
