Dr. Wang Dong
Liver space-occupying lesions present with various symptoms, commonly including pain in the liver area, jaundice, and ascites. These lesions may be caused by a variety of factors such as hepatic cysts, hepatic hemangiomas, and liver cancer. Such abnormalities can lead to structural or functional impairment of the liver, resulting in corresponding clinical manifestations. In terms of management, patients should maintain healthy lifestyle habits, avoid excessive fatigue and emotional fluctuations, and quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Treatment approaches depend on the specific type of lesion. For benign tumors such as hepatic cysts and hemangiomas, if they are small and asymptomatic, regular monitoring may be sufficient. However, if they are large or cause significant symptoms, surgical intervention may be considered. Malignant tumors such as liver cancer require comprehensive treatment strategies based on disease stage, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and other modalities.
