Can you briefly explain what liver mass is?

Liver mass means that this situation will be discovered when performing liver B-ultrasound or imaging examinations. In fact, this is due to a disease in the liver function, which will lead to liver lesions, making the patient's liver very uncomfortable and often causing liver diseases. In fact, this is not synonymous with liver cancer. As long as everyone can take it seriously and carry out reasonable treatment and diagnosis, the condition will recover soon.

summary

When liver imaging examinations such as B-ultrasound, CT or MRI are performed, it is often diagnosed as "liver space-occupying lesions". So what are liver space-occupying lesions?

Interpretation

The so-called liver space-occupying lesions refer to the abnormal echo or density areas that appear in the liver parenchyma on the basis of the uniform echo of normal liver B-ultrasound or the uniform density of CT. Abnormal echo areas or abnormal density areas may be caused by a variety of reasons, including malignant tumors, such as primary liver cancer and metastatic liver cancer; benign tumors, such as hepatic hemangioma and hepatic adenoma; and some tumor-like lesions, such as liver cysts, regenerative nodules of cirrhosis, and focal nodular hyperplasia.

Clinical work

It is the physician's responsibility to determine the nature of the liver space-occupying lesion based on its clinical manifestations. With the development of imaging technology and the accumulation of clinical experience, a clear diagnosis can generally be made. However, sometimes due to the atypical manifestations of the lesions or considering the serious consequences of missed diagnosis of liver cancer, clinicians will recommend further follow-up or surgery to confirm the diagnosis, and patients should fully understand this.

Summarize

In short, liver space-occupying lesions are not synonymous with "liver cancer" and a proactive attitude should still be adopted in diagnosis and treatment.
