What Causes Bleeding In Liver Tumors?
My daughter had a liver bleed this weekend. Lost a pint of blood, blood pressure dropped. Dr. did a angiogram and found that she has several tumors on the liver. The stopped the bleeding of the tum.or that erupted. What causes this? Drs. scheduled another mri because there was so much blood in her abdomen they could not get a good view.

hi.
the tumor or any tumor itself has neovascularization which could rupture and can cause tumor bleed. liver is also an organ with good vascular supply hence, major blood loss could be encountered on a situation like that.
hope this helps.
good day!
