6cm lesion found on ultrasound worried!!

[Barb48]

49 year old woman, very worried as a 6cm lesion has been found on liver from ultrasound last week, was told that is was likely to be a focal Nodula hyperplasia, now waiting for urgent referral.

No other symptoms other than raised GGT, and slightly raised bilirubin, never drink alcohol. initial liver function blood test was for isotretinoin treatment for ongoing acne.

GP was reluctant to send me for initial ultrasound, said I was just an abnormally with raised Ggt !

Hi,

Welcome to the forum.

After haemangiomas, Focal nodule hyperplasia (FNH) is the most frequent of the benign solid liver tumours. It is commonly found in women aged between 15 and 50.

We do have a section on Focal nodule hyperplasia in our publication 'Benign tumours and cystic disease of the liver' Here is the link;

We hope that the liver specialist can provide more insight and clarification of diagnosis for you.

Waishing you well,

Hi Barb48,

Sorry to hear this and hope you are doing ok. Just wanted to say I am in a very similar to you and waiting for an MRI scan (about 5 week wait though!). Best of luck

I’ve just had my appointment through for my CT scan for end of May, so much , for a two week urgent referral it will be a month by then, then another 2 weeks for results.

The waiting is the worst.

Hope yours is all clear
