Can Hemangioma Of 10cm Be Cause Of Cancer?
Preliminary diagnosis 7 hemangioma by radiologist via GE CT scan with iodine. Largest is 10 cm. Male 45. Told by primary physician not to worry but also can not 100 percent rule out cancer. Did MRI following day and awaiting results over weekend. Anxiety is intense. Is this common. Are ct's reasonably accurate?

Hi.Thanks for using health care magic. As your physician told you, the hemangioma that you got can be benign or malignant. Please wait for your MRI results to come. And see for any symptoms too. After you get your reports please consult a good vascular surgeon and then decide whether to remove it or not. If you get it removed you can confirm it by a pathologist and make it clear. Take care. Thank you.
