Hi,
With the question “Is the liver parenchyma HPT 8 nodule hyperechoic in the form of hemangiomas dangerous? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Such ultrasound results are abnormal. However, hemangiomas in the liver are benign and there is no evidence of hemangiomas progressing to cancer, so you should not be too worried. Small hemangiomas like yours are often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally and without treatment.
You do not need to see a doctor right away, but you should arrange to see a hepatologist for advice and long-term follow-up. In general, you need to avoid taking certain hormones that are thought to make hemangiomas grow faster and have a hepatobiliary ultrasound every 6 months to monitor progress. In addition to ultrasound, the doctor may order computed tomography (CT scanner) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that can be used to diagnose tumors.
Blood tumors less than 50 mm in size are usually asymptomatic, rapidly growing masses can cause pain in the liver and may cause bleeding. With such complications, you may be advised by your doctor to have surgery to remove the tumor, remove the part of the liver containing the tumor, radiation therapy, embolism or liver transplant depending on the progression of the blood tumor.
If you still have questions about the liver parenchyma HPT 8 nodules hyperechoic hemangioma, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
