Brief Answer:
Hemangiomas are not serious and often left alone!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this liver finding and all the disturbing thoughts this has caused you. A hemangioma refers to a blood collection and in most cases left alone. No aggressive measures are needed for this. It is not cancer and can never develop into cancer. For why they never mentioned it, maybe they considered is a non significant finding or they forgot.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Thank you for helping me feel more better
But I thought it said to be like a mass but you say blood collection ? Do I still need to get done a MRI?

Brief Answer:
From the report, the term hemagioma means blood collection!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The report says it is a hemagioma ( mass filled with blood). They are benign liver masses. If they want to confirm, I will say let them do so. However, the sort seems to suggest they are likely not to do an MRI than do one. You may ask your doctor if he saw this and what his take was. But from the word hemagioma, it is nothing serious.
