Is There Any Relation Between A Carcinoid Tumor Of Liver And Lichen Planus?

Hi, I was curious about any relationship between a carcinoid tumor of the liver and Lichen Planus? Also, if labs are completely normal with no s/s and the tumor has no other origin but the liver (2.5 cm in diameter), could they take it out using cryotherapy or some sort of laparoscopic technique to prevent hemorrhage?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. There is no any relation between carcinoid tumour and lichen planus. Treatment of carcinoid tumour is surgical excision. But technique depends on location of tumour. If it is possible to remove by laproscopy then you can go for laproscopic surgery.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
