Thick-walled Gallbladder, Hepatic Mass with Hepatic parenchymal disease and ascites.

Thick-walled Gallbladder, Hepatic Mass with Hepatic parenchymal disease and ascites. Hepatic tumors are a diverse group of masses that include malignant and benign subtypes. Their presentation may vary from localizing signs/symptoms, such as jaundice and right upper quadrant pain, to vague signs/symptoms, such as fatigue, weight loss, and anorexia. Many hepatic tumors are discovered incidentally on medical imaging studies. Moreover, the liver is a common site for metastasis, and metastases to the liver are significantly more common than primary liver tumors. The incidence of primary liver cancer is steadily increasing worldwide. Unlike most other causes of liver disease, it is treatable and the prognosis is excellent provided that it is diagnosed before irreversible damage has occurred. The most common causes of cirrhosis are hepatitis and other viruses. Alcohol abuse. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (this happens from metabolic syndrome and is caused by conditions such as obesity, high cholesterol and triglycerides, and high blood pressure), Most benign liver tumors do not cause symptoms and are found incidentally on abdominal imaging studies such as an ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI. It is important that benign tumors are not misdiagnosed. Your doctor may choose to follow the tumor with imaging studies to ensure that they have been diagnosed correctly. Globally, liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death after cancers of the lung and the stomach. The highest incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is in China, representing about 50% of HCC cases worldwide, with most of the cases associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Cholangiocarcinoma also has a disproportionate geographical distribution, with Thailand having the highest global rates due to the presence of liver flukes. Accurate characterization of liver masses by cross-sectional imaging is liver disease with cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and hypersplenism. Focal fat is also hyperechoic to the normal liver parenchyma on ultrasound. Coarsened hepatic echotexture is a sonographic descriptor used when the uniform smooth hepatic echotexture of the liver is lost. This can occur due to a number of reasons which include: conditions that cause hepatic fibrosis. Liver lesions are groups of abnormal cells in your liver. Your doctor may call them a mass or a tumor. Noncancerous, or benign, liver lesions are common. They don't spread to other areas of your body and don't usually cause any health issues. But some liver lesions form as a result of cancer. Either a single tumor larger than 2 cm (4/5 inch) that has grown into blood vessels, OR more than one tumor but none larger than 5 cm (about 2 inches) across. It has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or to distant sites. More than one tumor, with at least one tumor larger than 5 cm across. Fetor hepaticas occur when your breath has a strong, musty smell. It's a sign that your liver is having trouble doing its job of filtering out toxic substances, usually due to severe liver disease. As a result, sulfur substances end up in your bloodstream and can make their way to your lungs.
