What Does The PET Scan Report Indicate?

Hi Doctor,

My father recently got stomach pain. So he had taken PET scan which gives the following conclusion:

shrunken liver with diffuse surface nodularity.
Heterogeneously enhancing necrotic mass lesion in all segments of right lobe of liver with patchy increased metabolic activity.

Can u pl suggest some hospitals in chennai where this could be treated??

Hi
I have gone through your complaints.
Shrunken liver with diffuse surface irregularity means chronic parenchymal liver disease that is cirrosis.there wil be fibrosis is going on inrespibse to insults like alcohol ,viral hepatitis etc.heterogenously enhancing mass lesions in all segments of right lobe of liver with increased activity indicate multi focal hepatocellular carcinoma.that means due to repeatedongoing insult & fibrosis associated with regenerating nodules and thus malignancy some times.
Best thing is liver transplantation .liver is the organ which has regenerating capacity.so dont worry.planfor liver transplant .hospitals in chennai are apollo and global hospitals.government hospitals like madras medical college & hospitals also doing.
Thank you
Regards
