What is a benign liver tumor?

Benign liver tumor is a non -lawn growth resulting from the liver. These growth, which can also be described as benign liver tumors, are relatively common and often do not cause any symptoms. During the scanning, a benign liver tumor may happen to be discovered by accident, which was carried out to explore another state. The presence of a tumor sometimes can cause liver function tests to occur abnormal, but no more dysfunction of liver. Benign liver tumors are usually removed only in rare cases where symptoms such as pain, bleeding or rupture occur. Hemangiomas may be discovered in adults or children, but it is assumed that they are present from birth and can increase during pregnancy or due to the use of a contraceptive drug. This type of benign liver tumor occurs more frequently in women, is usually small and does not cause any symptoms if the pain or tumor bursts. When hemangioma is diagnosed in an infant, it is often seenthat the tumor will shrink before two age. Treatment is not necessary for most hemangiomas, but large tumors in young children may have to be surgically removed.

Hepatocellular adenoma is a benign liver tumor that is most common in women before menopause. It is a relatively unusual tumor, usually associated with the use of oral contraceptives for many years. Symptoms usually do not occur, but sometimes abdominal pain may occur and sometimes the tumor may burst or bleed into the abdomen. Due to the risk of bleeding and the fact that there is a slight chance that malignancy may occur, with the transformation of adenoma into liver cancer, treatment is usually performed. Hepatocellular adenomas are usually removed by surgery if they stop the contraceptive use causes them to reduce.

Focal nodular hyperplasia is a benign liver tumor that is more common than hepatocelluARA adenoma, but less common than hemangioma. It develops more often in women and usually does not cause any symptoms and requires no treatment. Focal nodular hyperplasia does not tend to become malignant, but very sometimes open or bleeding can burst and an extremely large tumor may be removed before rupture. Other types of benign liver tumor are extremely rare and may include oily or lipomas, fibrous tumors and growth affecting the yellow channel that leads from the gallbladder.
