[SPAM]Re: Spot on Liver - Dana

[Guest guest]

The " low-density focus within the liver " are most likely a cyst or a

hemangioma (a clump of blood vessels). Both are normal things that

develop in people as we age (sorry). The reason why it would be

reported as non-specific is because it was too small for them to

clearly define or IV contrast was not used or not timed correctly to

see exactly what it is. There is likely no need to worry and can

just be re-evaluated for stability on your next CT scan.
