There are many areas of cancer throughout the liver. The cancer came from some other body part. I'm sorry for your trouble.
What does this mean........innumerable multiple hypodence lesions involving both lobes of the liver measuring 2 to 5 mm. Nodularity of the liver contour .there is mild hepatomegaly
The treatment for liver lesions depends on whether or not the lesions are malignant or benign. Surgical intervention is recommended for malignant liver lesions.
Symptoms of liver lesions include pain and bleeding. Another common symptom is a feeling of fullness. Nausea is also an early warning sign of lesions in the liver.
Hormone changes in women can trigger lesions in the liver. Hemangiomas is an example where lesions can range up to 6 meters and cause pain.
they are hypodense typically though can have a varied appearance. They can be diagnosed definitvely with a contrast enhacned CT or MR due to a characteristic enhancement pattern. They are a benign lesion.
brain, bones, adrenals, liver
Depends on the form. If cancer has spread, it is said to have metastasized. The spreading itself is called metastasis. "Lung carcinoma with metastasis to the liver."
Benign
A test carried out for testing liver metastasis. is the test required in case of confirmed metastates?
A hypodense liver mass is an area of the liver that shows up as a different color on ultrasound or CT scan than the liver itself. It is not a diagnosis, but only an observation of the picture the radiologist took. It's often found "accidentally" while looking for something else, and doesn't need treatment but may need a follow-up picture in a few months. Your health care provider will combine this finding with the ohter information gathered from the history, physical, and lab tests to determine what this finding means for you.
Less liver specific than others....obstructions, hepatitis.... Paget's disease, osteosarcoma, bone metastasis, pregnancy.....
Yes, breast cancer can metastasize to the liver. Metastasis refers to the spread of cancer cells from the primary tumor to other parts of the body. In the case of breast cancer, the liver is one of the common sites where metastasis may occur. When breast cancer metastasizes to the liver, it means that cancer cells from the breast have traveled through the bloodstream or lymphatic system and formed secondary tumors in the liver. Liver metastasis may affect the functioning of the liver and can lead to various symptoms such as: Abdominal pain or discomfort: Due to the enlargement of the liver. Jaundice: Yellowing of the skin and eyes caused by liver dysfunction. Unexplained weight loss: Resulting from the impact on overall health. Fatigue: Due to the strain on the liver and the body. It's important for individuals with breast cancer to undergo regular monitoring and screenings to detect any signs of metastasis. Early detection allows for more effective management and treatment strategies. Treatment for metastatic breast cancer involving the liver often involves a combination of systemic therapies, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, and, in some cases, surgical interventions. The specific treatment plan will depend on the characteristics of the breast cancer, the extent of metastasis, and individual factors.
