What Does This Biopsy Report Indicate?

Hello doctor. My father 72 years old has started losing weight in last 6 months. His ultrasound and CT scan was done which shows a mass lump of more than 17 cm and has been referred to oncologist. His various tests and needle biopsy was done. His AFP test is normal and his biopsy shows benign capillary hepogemina. His oncologist says it could be blood vessel tumor or some cancer other than HCC. He asked us to meet his surgical expert in next few days. We want to understand

Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic. From what has been written by you I infer that the biopsy report states benign capillary Haemangioma. It is a benign tumor of the blood vessels. Since blood vessels are present everywhere so it can occur at any site. It is benign. Means it does not spread and cause grave danger to life. It just exerts its mass effect or since it is a blood vessel tumor made up of a network of capillaries it can bleed. Rest it will not require chemotherapy or radiotherapy since it is not malignant. Simple excision might provide complete cure. Hope that helps.
