Hello Finding suggests SOL(space occupying lesion in liver). It may be due to both benign or malignant reasons. Generally contrast CT scan of abdomen is very helpful in diagnosis but in some cases CT scan is able to diagnose properly. This is the reason that doctors has advised for biopsy. Biopsy can only assess exact nature of lesion. Biopsy is only a short OLD process and there is no need to admission for this process. You may need few blood tests before biopsy.Don't get afraid of biopsy. Probably this is necessary for diagnosis. Take Care Chat Doctor.
