liver hemangiomas

[bCanuck]

Ok I have been feeling ill (weak and just not myself) for the past 3 months I have had an ESR rating of 48 which has now gone down to 2 and slightly high platelet level. Recently I have been having upper abdominal pain and went for an ultrasound. The ultrasound found something that the doctor says is a hemangioma. I was wondering how sure he can be with the finding through an ultrasound and also if it could be cancerous. The hemangioma is on my liver and is 2.2 cm. Another question I have is how do you treat or get rid of these hemangiomas.

By the way I am a 26 year old male who is usually healthy and athletic.

I  had a ct scan that  stated my lesions werent  hemangiomas either then they sent me for an mri before they did the biopsy  which then stated once again that they were in fact liver hemangiomas the test kept going back and forth it was very scarey but now they are just going to watch mine for 2 months more  re-do the mri and if any changes set up the liver biopsy then . Good luck hopefully yours will come back to be liver hemangiomas after all. I did a lot of research  while i was waiting for my test to come back to see if they were cancerous and it  shows another type of lession could be a liver adenoma which alot of women who have taken birth control or of child bearing age are getting  it is caused from the increased hormone  look those up online see what you think  but good luck ?

I am freaking out...please anyone that can help.... I am 39 years old, female, mother of five. I have had a pain in my side, right under my right rib, off to the side a bit for months..right around the time of my menstrual cycle. It stuck around this month, and I thought I felt a lump, so I went to the ER. They did a liver enzyme test..normal. A pelvic exam, normal, and and a CT..not normal. Showed "multiple liver lesions", one of which is 7 centimeters (3 inches) big. I had a second, "triple phase CT". The radiologist determined they do not look like hemangiomas. I had a chest ex-ray, nothing there, either. No cirhosis (sp?) and no lyphoma in my stomach, or anywhere else that they see.I had my gall bladder and appendix removed 19 years ago, just 6 weeks after the birth of my first child. I have to have a biopsy to determine if I have cancer. I am so scared! Everything I read on the "net" is very bad. I have no real "pain", just some discomfort that if it gets a little worse I take two Ibuprofen and I'm good. No jaundice, either. I'm not tired, not sick, still eat (except since they told me this I'm not real hungry...) still go to work, everything basically normal except these THINGS in my liver. Could I really have liver cancer??? I am very scared. I go for my biopsy on Thursday, Oct. 19th. Please, someone tell me if they've experienced anything similar, or have advice or words of comfort. I truly am petrified.

Hi,everyone. I want to share what's happened with my husband.he has a giant hemangioma 8cm. For about 2.5 yrs every time he gets very exausted at work or gets cold or a flue, he starsts with fever up to 103, but then this fever doesn't go away for 3-4 weeks. Today this is his 5th epizode for a time being. There are no  symptoms other than weakness due to  a fever. Last time he was hospitalised for 7 days.Doctots could not find anything. The blood tests were completely normal, exept white cells decreased to 4.0(Normal range is 4.5 to 10). Doctors tried empirical administration of Avelox(antibiotic) and then the fever went gradually down.Right now, my husband has low grade fever. I give him Avelox, but fever does not go away.Could this be hemangioma playing this trick with him? Can anybody share his thoughts about this?
