Hi I had a contrast ct scan done and they said they found a 15mm ill-defined lesion on my liver. they said they don't know what it is so am having a contrast MRI.
Yes, I had a lesion found on my liver at my pre-op CT scan - I was having a full node clearance from my groin & pelvis as I had Stage 3 melanoma.
They didn't know if it was the melanoma that had spread so they waited 2 months & scanned again. There had been no change so they were happy that it was a benign mark on my liver that I had probably had since birth. My oncologist explained that our internal organs have spots & marks on them, just like our skin has! That was 12 years ago & I've had no signs of liver problems since then.
Good luck, I hope yours turns out to be something innocent.
I have 2 lesions on my liver, and have had multiple mri scans initially they diagnosed focal nodular hyperplasia which are benign tumours. However they have grown so I've just been sent for a biopsy and will get the results on Monday. Very scary and I don't think I've ever spent so long on Google in my life!
Yes, mine was ill defined so it's not always the case it's malignant. A CT scan shows up any lesions on an internal organ but it isn't detailed enough to tell what type of lesion whereas a MRI gives more detailed images, especially of internal organs and other body structures. It's common for a CT scan to be done as it shows up the general area and then a follow up with a MRI (if necessary) to get a more defined image of anything that showed up on the CT.
Hey! Thankfully they showed that it was focal nodular hyperplasia so no more scans for 2 years and will go from there the relief is fantastic thank you for asking x
