liver lesions that have increased by 100%
by dee1975, May 28, 2009 06:49PM
I had a Ct scan w/ contrast due to upper right quadrant pain a few weeks ago and they found up to 11 liver lesions which could not be determined as unremarkable so an MRi was recommended. I had the MRi done last week and they still can not determine for sure that all are hemangiomas. So I have an appt with a liver dr in a month.
My question is: Back in 2005 I had an Mri done also due to upper right quadrant pain and they found 1 liver lesion which they deemed to be a hemangioma and insignificant. Now I have up to 11that are measurable and 3 that are not. Is this normal for the amount of lesions to increase so dramatically in such a short amount of time (4 years). ???
I am a 34 y.o. female. I do not take birth control pills and haven't for about 6 years. I do not smoke. I have an occasional alcoholic drink for special occasions. I have 3 children. My grandmother died of liver disease.

I had a ultrasound in Dec . 08 where they incidentally found 2 liver leisons in my left lobe .1 cm and 3 cm ? I just had my follow up MRI last Friday . I picked up my results from radiology , but do not see the doctor until Monday . I asked to havae the new contrast EOVIST , it is supposed to be helpful in diagnosing tumors . Especially FNH and adenomas . My report now says I have 5 leisons . 3 not measuring over 1.2 cm and 2 without measurement . The one they did not show a size could be adenoma .and I have no idea what happened to the FNH that supposedly measured 3 cm ? I am thinking this contrast was more efficient . I am on birthcontrol and will be getting off soon .I wonder if these tumors could be fed on our natural estrogen ? I here of many women who have been on birthcontrol on limited basis and still end up with these growths .
I guess I am not alot of help , but understand what your going through .
