Is Lesion In Liver An Indication Of Cancer?

I had a pulmonary embolism two months ago most likely from birth control (had depo for a year and switched to pills for about 3 months) when I went to hospital for the PE .they also said they found a small lesion in my liver but made no big deal. Now today I went to my hemotologist and they told me to get MRI for it...I assume he didn t know that I had the lesion back then because he made it sound like he received the info that day. He said he wants to check it again because I could have very small chance of cancer.I am scared.what do you think?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi.

Cancer is always to be ruled out with any lesion seen anywhere around the body, but the lesion seen is most probably a tumor or a cyst that will not cause you any trouble, and most probably will not be a cause for concern either. I do not think it will be cancer, but either way go ahead with the MRI which will help diagnose the condition and help direct treatment accordingly.

Best wishes.
