Liver space-occupying lesions mainly refer to abnormal density areas or echo regions detected within the liver parenchyma during CT or liver ultrasound examinations. These abnormalities may be caused by diseases such as metastatic liver cancer or primary liver cancer. Further diagnostic tests are required to determine the underlying cause, followed by timely treatment to prevent liver damage and associated harm to the body.
