Could Plavix Increase The Size Of A Hemangioma Cyst?

I found a hemangioma cyst in the liver since 2007 by CT scan. I had monitored the cyst by ultrasound every year during medical check up. The 2cm cyst seem not to have any progress in size during the past 4 yrs, until today check up my ultra sound result show an increase in size. It grows to be 3cm. I try to figure out what would cause this and being very suspicious on my minor stroke treatment during the yr. I had taken Plavix for 2mon. Just wondering if there could be an effect of this to the in crease in size of my hemangioma?

Hi
Welcome to HCM
You should do CT scan and alfa fetoprotein, a blood investigation to confirm that it is not other mass. If not no need to worry for 3cm mass. If one of the above test is doughtfull see your surgeon. Strock treatment has nothing to do with this.
