I am suffering pain in the back as well as right lower side under the ribs, since the last one year.  Also i have gastric problems.  I have taken treatment from doctors but still now it has not been cured. In ultrasound it appeared a 3.7 cm large echogenic area in right lobe of the liver. All other organs were OK. The echogenic area has been increased about 1.2 cm in five months. Doctors said it is hemangioma of liver ? Is it neccessary to remove this mass through surgery ? How could i get releive from the pain ?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concerns. Such small hematomas should not be the cause of such pain. Usually only hematomas larger than 10 cm may be symptomatic and in this case it requires surgical treatment. However, in your case there may be gallbladder issue or pancreatitis or some other liver lesions such as fatty liver or hepatitis. If everything else is ruled out then surgery can be considered for such small hematomas. If this is located at the edge of the liver, then it can be removed laparoscopically as well. I hope I have answered you queryKindly regards. Wish you a good health.
