Is this Cancer of the liver?

[mom3boyzz]

Hello there, I had an MRI scan done after an ultrasound found a lesion on my liver. This is what the report said...a small lesion, well circumscribed of approx 8mm was found posterior segment of the liver, beneathe the dome of diaphragm in almost subcasular positon. The lesion can not be identified with any confidence on the T1W and T2W images, but is viible on azia GRE T1W images particularly with opposed phase image. The lesion is also visible on fat-suppressed T1W images and on post contrast images exhibits no internal enhancement. No ther lesion can be see. This lesion does not qualify as a haemangioma and it is also not consistant with a simple hepatic cyst. Its signal characteristics suggest high internal hydrocarbon content, such as fat. There is mild borderline splenomegaly. The lesion is presumably rich in inernal lipid. It is probably a benign stucture but it is unusual for focal fatty infiltration to be this discrete.

This is what the MRI image found, I am going for a follow up ultrasound next month. What does this sound like? could this be cancer? I am a mother of three children.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Thank you Kaneda for your reponse.

The good part is this line "It is probably a benign stucture but it is unusual for focal fatty infiltration to be this discrete." A follow up ultrasound might give more information. It also mentioned that your spleen is mildly enlarged.

I'm sure your doc is concerned will order some bloodwork just to be sure.
Blood tests can be done to check for a substance called AFP (alpha-fetoprotein). AFP levels are often high in people with liver cancer.
