29 year old female. 100 lbs, have lost 10 lbs. since October. Had a US in Oct. that picked up an echogenic focus, \"most likely representing a cavernous hemangioma 3.4 cm\". (Dec) Follow up CT with in contrast states \"probable focal fatty infiltration\" 4 cm. I also have high bilirubin. All other liver function tests are normal. I am concerned, but doctors do not seem to be. Apart from this I have been very ill since the end of September with digestive problems, weight loss, headaches, etc. Should I be worried about cancer?
Hi there, A cavernous hematoma is not associated with cancer.  The risk is that they can rupture and bleed, but usually that risk isn't elevated unless they are over 5 cm.  A fatty liver infiltration just means you have a small spot on your liver that has some fat.  High bilirubin in itself can mean a number of things, and without the specific numbers, It's difficult to say, but most common cause is gallbladder problems. If you can give me the specific numbers, I can answer that question with a bit more detail. I would not be worried about cancer with a cavernous hematoma or fatty infiltration.  I hope I have answered your questions. Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.
