Should I Be Worried About Ultrasound Showing Hyperechoic Nodule Liver?
I'm 46 years old and I stand 5'6" in height. Recently, I had an ultrasound and the result shows that there is an incidental note of a "Heperechoic Nodule in the Right Lobe of the Liver measuring 3.8x2.5x3.1 cm. Does this need medical attention? Is this something that I need to worry about? Please shed light on this. Thanks.
noted ultrasound result. are you experiencing any signs or symptoms related to it? it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. it may be just a benign liver nodule which warrants observation if not causing any symptom. other things that must be ruled-out are malignancy and metastatic disease. diagnostics (ct-scan, such as tissue diagnosis, liver function tests, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
