![CT Differential Diagnosis of Focal Hepatic Lesions [Basic Radiology]](/img/n.gif)
I’m pretty scared I have AST 56, ALT 95, and just had an ultrasound where they said they “found a mass” on my liver……I have to schedule a CT scan for next week. My mom has fatty liver disease but doesn’t know if she has any growths on her liver. I do get mild pain/burning sensations when I eat a heavy meal or recently had spicy foods. But I have no crippling pain, no changes in urine or stool color, no weight loss, no vomiting, no nausea, no new body pain. I’m overweight and have a bad diet, but I’m changing that immediately I used to be very fit and muscular and NEED to get back to my healthy habits after this. I’m just hoping I’ll be ok 🙏
Do you have any update on lesions? I have the same and im so scared
I also have the exact same thing. Same results and mass found on my liver. I’m speaking to a liver specialist today.
@@VanessaBruemmer mine ended up being a benign hemangioma, non cancerous. But in the process they found out I have stage 3 liver fibrosis.
How are you doing now
@@MelindaSolis-dp9vu change my diet to low carb and only eating healthy foods like eggs, chicken, fish, turkey, Ezekiel bread, brown rice, beans, nuts, avocados, veggies, leafy greens, berries, and only use organic EVOO, avocado oil, or grass fed unsalted butter. Lost 50 lbs, but according to a fibroscan test they said I have mild-moderate scarring of the liver. Have an appointment with a liver specialist in April to discuss it.
Very well done, thank you! I love how thoughtful the responses were - too often, doctors can be so dismissive of these questions. I appreciate having a credible resource like the American Liver Foundation doing these videos!
My doctor said I have a 1cm lesion in my liver and ordered an ultrasound. They said they could not discard it as a cyst so they ordered an MRI. I'm hoping to get my results in two days. Honestly, I'm not that concerned but here I am educating myself just in case!
OMG- 1cm lesion is pretty bad. Try not to worry
What did you find out?
@@nellybelly623 I did! They said nothing to worry about for now. But they want another MRI next year.
@@davejohnson3822 I have a simple 1.4 cm. It started as a .5 cm about 13 years ago.
@@marys3738What were the symptoms?
He explain it so good better than my doctor. . thank u i
Thank you for Sharing it's was very Helpful
New subscribers thank you for all your information
I found this video very informative. Thank you as it helped to answer and clarify so many of my questions. Really appreciate the thoroughness.
Very informative. Thank you. It's important for doctors to start looking at reasons for these growths. You should look into the artificial methods and ingredients in foods. Chickens ate given "feed" that makes hens lay eggs without fertilization by a rooster. The same with the treatments given to animals to increase amount of milk, or their size. The fertilizers used are also probably contributing. Must make foods natural again.
At. Thank u
I just had my gallbladder removed and when I had the CT scan they found a 1.7 cm mass. They said it looks to be a benign cyst. I am now going for a ultrasound. Should I also get an MRI? The mass is located on the dome of my liver. My liver enzymes are also moderately elevated ( AST and ASP) They also found a cyst on one of my kidneys last year too but was not further investigated.
Thanks kindly,
Are nodules dangerous? What's the treatment for reducing nodules? Thanks in advance for your advice!
Wow. Thank you so much for doing this presentation Dr Gabriel very informative.
A friend of mine he incidentally doing his MRI for his back 4 or 5 years ago discover a cyst 1cm and now is growing he does check ups every year now is 4.1x4.1x3.1 but no much symptoms he lose weight but eating well. The Oncology says the cyst is in dangerous location. What do you think? Thank you
As a Triple Negative Breast Cancer survivor I know the 3 most likely of metastatic breast cancer is lung, liver, and bone. I am not sure why the person who had Breast Cancer that it was not normal. Maybe I misunderstood.
I have a 16CM hemangioma attached to both lobes of my liver that caused a complete bowel blockage necessitating an ileostomy and embolization to reduce the size of the hemangioma. I have had a ileostomy reversal, however, the hemangioma is now about the same size as before the blockage. What can be done with this hemangioma?
What are hyperdensities of the liver . I had a cat scan and said I have a few hyperdensities of my liver . The ER doctor never mentioned them . If I didn’t read the CT report myself , no one would never had told me .
How do polycystic liver treated so that danger and pain will get remedy as after aspiration - removing of cysts contents there is pain especially when lying in bed. Thank you Doc if you find any advice.
Here from the Philippines.
I just found out I have a 13½cm Cyst on my liver. I have shooting pains inside a Rash appeared Dr said Shingles I said no. then it disappeared. Constant dull ache slightly piercing shooting pain up my back and in my right buttock and a Headache. CAT scan discovered it I have to wait 5 days before I see my Dr for a referral to Liver specialist. I don't know how long I have to go on with this thorn in my side.
What was the outcome if you dont mind me asking...
@@dogfishead8317 I had Keyhole surgery December. I'm right as rain now. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Only pains I got was I Hoola hooped a bit too much. All is well now. Oyes I learnt I was born with it..
I have had a full thyroidectomy due to papillary carcinoma and now they've found a cyst on my liver. I've read thyroid hormone and liver issues are connected should I be concerned?
What does it mean heterogenous liver lesion they found that on my liver should I be worried
I have a couple cyst on my liver. Two radiologist read my mri and told me the same thing. I asked if I need to monitor it and have it scanned again in a year but I was told no. It’s a cyst and they see a lot of those on mri scans.
I should add that my dogs are all vetted, dewormed and are part of my family, however some parasites do tend to show up under stress such as c section and caring for puppies. I have great hygiene, but I am always cleaning up feces and sanitizing. Just trying to rule out this possibility of cyst.
Do liver cyst go away on their own ? What does " relatively" hypodense lesion on left lobe mean , on a CT scan ?
Hello, can u plz tell me if this is something to worry about..
MRI showed As seen on prior CT, there is a 1.2 cm cystic lesion in the lateral left kidney in addition to a tiny cyst is seen in the posterior inferior liver. There is also a 3 cm left ovarian follicle.
What did you find out?
what mean multiple complex cystic lesions in liver
My surgeon will not reverse the illeostomy because CT Scan found a lesion on The liver. My problem is I've had this illeostomy for almost a year and need it gone as it has affected my bladder of which is not functioning as normal., using a catheter.
Can we make these liver cyst smaller?
What dose this mean...no enhancing lesions..ct
Is Polycystic Liver Disease related to Polycystic Ovarian Disease?
What would a grade 4 laceration of the liver involve? Thank you ❤
I am looking for some compatible Dr. to discuss case of a 13 year old child suffering cyst on liver which covers more then 87% surface, n Dr says it's untreatable n it's cancerous. Please help me to suggest Dr. doe this
🙏🏼praying for healing in Jesus name.
Why hasn’t anyone determined exactly what kind of cysts I have from a CT w contrast? Now they want an ultrasound. Isn’t the CT scan far more accurate? Mine is now 7 cm as well as many smaller cysts. I feel uncomfortable from this larger one. I’m not sure if it’s pushing on another organ. I can hardly eat.
What did they end up doing about it?
I just had a CT scan and it showed an 8mm lesion. I’ve had biliary issues for 25 years after a botched gallbladder removal. My common bile duct was cut and I had to have a roux-en-y to reattach everything. Over the years my scar tissue has caused many biliary blockages which have now caused fibrosis and I am in stage 3 liver disease. My doctors want to wait 3 months to rescan but I had 3 scans in the past year and the first 2 didn’t show any lesions and now I have a lesion. My last scan was 4 months ago and then one week ago. If I grew this in 4 months, what can happen in three months if I wait? I don’t know if I should listen to my team or get a second opinion. I do have many symptoms. Severe fatigue, lethargy actually, liver spasms all day long, nausea, vomiting and elevated liver enzymes but normal bilirubin and no jaundice. I also have anemia and low protein levels due to my faulty liver and I’m always low on electrolytes from vomiting. I have biliary stents to keep things open and a big stent that drains my liver directly into my stomach.
My mother largest lesion in liver and it 8cm please explain what can we do
What size cysts do you consider large that can push on other organs? My largest cyst is 7 cm.
Mine is 7.8 to 8 cm multiple, but others smaller . I saw a surgeon yesterday and will have a surgery on January 6 to take it off, wish you and I all have good out come , God bless you and me.🙏🏻💗
@@meiw8358 hey can tell us what happen we’re it’s the scar what was everything ok let un knows

Is a 17x17cm liver tumor large?
I have 3×3 cm lesions and waiting for an MRI Im only 52 and am otherwise extremely health. But am scared waiting to find out if they are cancerous.
What were the symptoms?
Did you ever find out. I am the same age no symptoms and am having another Cat scan tomorrow morning
On the basis of my CT and PET scans, my Radiologists say that I have HCC and I have developed multi focal lesions in both Right and Left lobes of my Liver. My AFP levels have remained normal always but in the last 2-3 months my PIVIKAII is showing increasing Trend and my doctors have suggested that Liver Transplant is the only solution whereas I have no SYMPTOMS of the disease...I am Healthy working individual of 67 years with Veg diet, No drinking or smoking habits....My Liver Functions Tests are normal..Please guide me
Sir what did you do my father also have same problem sir? What did you do next
@@buddhika5527I am waiting for CadLiver Transplant Surgery
This video was extremely informative and explained simply. I love they way you defined the terms. Thank you. I have had 2 mri's and I have simple cysts on my kidney and complex cyst on my liver. Segment IVa. I was referred to a hepatologist and will get a biopsy. Also was told I have some degree of steatosis. Any idea of what you think I may have??
What u did after that which treatment u follow after that & what is the condition now
Did you get more information??
Drs told me there was nothing to worry about, which I think is bs. Basically said I have to have another mri every 6 months.
Possibly an odd question. It was discovered incidentally that I have liver cysts during a MRI of my spine. One cyst is 7 cm. CT w contrast confirmed several smaller cysts as well on my liver as well as small cysts in my kidneys. I whelped a litter of puppies in April, and my dam as well as myself were severely Ill with horrible diarrhea shortly after her c section. I questioned if we possibly picked up a parasite in the theriogenology college parking lot (horses, livestock in the gravel parking lot with standing water were brought there as well.) Now I have these cysts that have yet to be determined as simple, etc. I was cleaning a lot of dog diarrhea, 6 puppies feces etc. Could I have gotten Hydatid cysts from my puppy litter in the USA?
But what is a liver nodule? I have to get a CT scan of a nodule but I hear nothing about nodules on this channel
:(
My nodules, many, was accompanied by a cirrhosis liver diagnosis.
@@florachildressEarth2Flo just one nodule in my case... And I can't think why I would have cirrhosis... I'm relatively young and healthy. I'm not overweight and I don't even drink alcohol!
@@florachildressEarth2Flocan you share more?was your levels high?was you liver enlarged. Im so scared i have nodular liver surface but he said i dont have cirrhosis.
@@whatdoyoulivefor735hope your nodule is benign only.

Why would a doctor show a big smile when people are sick due to a false information from big dirty businesses? Well, he might be so happy because he got another patient.
