Should I be concerned about multiple hemangiomas on my liver?

[kimbertn]

I was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver in July of 2014, at that time, I had a hemangioma on my liver that has experienced some growth as shown in an ultrasound May 2016. Per the same ultrasound, another hemangioma has since developed. I am to have a CT this Thursday so the doctor can have a better view of the hemangiomas. The last biopsy I had was when I was first diagnosed. I can't seem to find any information about multiple hemangiomas on a diseased liver. Can anyone please tell me any info?  Don't pull any punches.

First, you need to confirm the liver lesions are hemangiomas with CT and/or MRI. If they are hemangiomas, then those are benign.

I did find some info from mayo clinic . Org

It's not clear what causes a liver hemangioma to form. Doctors believe liver hemangioma is congenital — meaning that you're born with it.

Liver hemangioma usually occurs as a single abnormal collection of blood vessels that is less than about 1.5 inches (about 4 centimeters) wide. Occasionally liver hemangiomas can be larger or occur in multiples.

In most people, liver hemangioma will never grow and never cause any signs and symptoms. But in a small number of people, liver hemangioma will grow to cause complications and require treatment. It's not clear why this happens.
