What Causes An Unknown Mass On The Liver?
Question: hi I would like to ask you a question, my daughter had a cat scan to see if she had stones in her kidneys they said she didn't-but they found a mass on her liver what could it be I m a little worried. she will see her family doctor to see what it is. thank you
Brief Answer:
Needs work up and management
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Mass could be anything and needs further work up to sort it out. I am afraid, right now , guessing the possibility of mass in liver would be shooting in blanks. Lets wait for the doctors appointment, they will run some labs, take ultrasound guided biopsy from the mass if needed, do some blood work up and we will reach a diagnosis.
Hang in there, most of the liver masses are benign and not worrisome. Lets hope for the best. I will be here when follow up with the doctor occurs and more investigations are done. We wil discuss the odds and possibilities then.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
