Hi, I was curious about any relationship between a carcinoid tumor of the liver and Lichen Planus? Also, if labs are completely normal with no s/s and the tumor has no other origin but the liver (2.5 cm in diameter), could they take it out using cryotherapy or some sort of laparoscopic technique to prevent hemorrhage?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. There is no any relation between carcinoid tumor and lichen plans. Treatment of carcinoid tumor is surgical excision.  But technique depends on location of tumor.  If it is possible to remove by laparoscopy then you can go for laparoscopic surgery. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
