[|Human|] i want to know the meaning of this sir,.." well defined heterogenously enhancing iso to hypodense lesion (7.6 * 6.5 *5.0) at segment 8 and 7 of liver with areas of arterioportal shunting within.  CECT findings are in favor of hepatoma."
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Hematoma is actually misnomer. It sounds like benign liver tumor, but actually it is hepatic cell carcinoma (HCC). It is most common malignant tumor of liver. CT report clearly mentioned heterogeneous, enhancing mass like lesion. Heterogeneity is hallmark of malignancy. Enhancement after contrast is also favoring malignant mass. So this CT scan report is suggestive of HCC - malignant tumor of liver. Further confirmation by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or biopsy is required. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to the patient. Thanks.
