What Could Hepatic Hemangioma On Liver Suggest?
my husband has had severe right upper quadrant pain and diarrhea for over a week. He had a gallbladder ultra sound that showed the gall bladder was fine. However, they found a hepatic hemingioma on this left lobe of liver. They say it is beigne and nothing to worry about. Could it be something else

Hello
Liver hemangioma is a benign lesion and it is made up of dilated blood vessels.It is generally an incidental finding and rarely require any treatment.
It may require treatment if it is causing symptoms like pain,enlargement of size.
Your husband may need follow up ultrasound scan.
Get well soon.
