Just had a mass found

I just found out yesterday that a 3-7 cm mass was found on my liver. An ultrasound picked up the image. I will now go in for a ct scan. I am wondering, does anyone have other symptoms besides the pain below th rib cage and such? I do have that, but I also seem to be very tired, somewhat light headed, I havent seen much talked about these, so thought I woulkd ask. I try not to freak myself out, but it's nice to hear about what others are going through. Thanks, Lisa


This discussion is related to liver mass ??.

I was called yesterday and told the echogram they did on my heart showed a mass in my left lobe of my liver.   The did blood yesterday and tomorrow a cat scan.  I have no symptoms.   I am 66 yrs old.  The dr. told me nothing except to have the ct done.  I'm presently searching the web.
i see the date of your comment way the 18th.   how is everything going?

I was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago with a fist size mass in the upper right of liver.  No pain associated with it other than extreme indigestion and reflux.  Blood test showed markers as negative (so I figure that's good news) I'm 61 years old.  Have had the EGD, CT scan and ultrasound.  Local specialist is now sending me to IU Med Center to a liver specialist, then biopsy and ?????
Keep me informed on how you are doing.  I'm also searching the web.

I was also just diagnosed with a liver mass.  I had an ultrasound to ck for gallbladder problems, which was negative.  Next is a ct scan.  I'm in the Indpls area and wondering who you specialist was at IU and what was the result of your biopsy?  Thank you for any help.

Hi, I have been dealing with this mass on the posterior right lobe since Feb 2011. It was found when I went for a CT scan for something else.
My blood work is crazy all over the board. I have no antibodies for Hep B so we started the vaccines however had an allergic reaction & cant finish.
I have had 3 biopsies and all are inconculsive on what this mass is.
It is growing. I have had MRIs CT Scans, RBC tagged liver scan. I am now being told be surgeons to wait it out.Cancer runs high in my family. Drs cant say 100% if it is malignent or not. One dr is worried about rupture while the other isnt...I am on the search myself. I have been told about the possibility of Birth control causing these masses. So frustrating...Sorry for the long post

My mom is 86 and always been in good health..now she had pain in right side right below ribs, finally went to dr. had ultrasound then CT scan...they found a 2" mass in liver upper part, and several small ones.  She goes in Monday for a biopsy.   Im worried about cancer...but with her health being so good and no history of cancer in her blood lines , Im wondering if i can be hopeful they are benign.   Life is so weird sometimes.

I also had a mass on my right abdomen. It was a tight, wrap-around and very full sensation. It wrapped slightly around my back and then inward by the liver and slanted down towards my pelvis. It bothered me for many years but I was always told that CT scans showed nothing except some liver nodules which apparently don't mean anything. I did have pain- especially in the lower right abdomen/pelvis for many years.

It wasn't until nearly 25 years later when I was finally able to obtain an MRI from a chiropractor that a mass was seen. It turned out to be a large abdominal lipoma which I finally had removed last year. It definitely felt good to get rid of it but unfortunately I also have a lot of adhesions from surgeries I had (myomectomy/ hysterectomy) which did nothing to help so I still have to live with those. They interfere with digestion quite a bit and I also might have SIBO due to them. I was also told that the lipoma 'could' come back. They are usually benign but can cause discomfort.

Did they say what the mass was or don't they know yet.
