Re: OT//focal lobular hyperplasia of the liver?

[Guest guest]

focal lobular hyperplasia - a benign, usually asymptomatic tumor of the liver,

occurring chiefly in women. It is a firm mass containing numerous small bile

ducts and usually lined by Kupffer cells, which are normal cells associated with

the liver.

That's the medicalese definition. It just means you have a lump in your liver.

Most of the time they're harmless, just bile ducts and fibers that have gotten a

bit tangled and out of control. They'll likely want to do a needle biopsy to

make sure it's benign and then discuss with you whether you want/need it

removed. Nothing to panic over.

He told me it was benign. Which is good... but he is still sending me to a

surgeon to

make sure. The only thing I know is that there is a possibility of bleeding. I

appreciate

your help.

Not sure what it is, but good luck! We'll have to add you to our prayer

lists!
