Liver ultrasound results...does this mean I don't have liver cancer?


i had a liver ultrasound done and it said that it was very fatty. Because of the excess fat, localized lesions can't be seen clearly but no mass lesions have been detected. Does this mean I do not have a tumor which in turns means no liver cancer?

I had the ultrasound done because I had elevated liver enzymes so my doctor suspects it to be the liver inflammed from fatty change. But after 3 months of exercising and dietary change my liver enzymes have returned to normal. Please let me know if the terminology from my ultrasound means no liver cancer. Thanks

If you had liver cancer the doctor would have told you because there would be treatments involved. A fatty liver is more common than most people realize. Question your doctor and make sure that he or she answers all of your questions.

It means no cancer was detected. The fact that your enzymes reversed goes along with fatty liver and not cancer which would tend to produce progressive elevations of these and other enzymes (alkaline phosphatase) as well. Congratulations.

The only thing it means is that they did not see an obvious lesion or mass but because of the excess fat they cannot be sure. Which is always the case with ultrasound or radiologic reports. What would make 媒ou think you have liver cancer? How old are you? Do you have hepatitis b or c? Are you a heavy drinker? Any exposure to substances that can cause liver damage? The elevated liver enzymes were probably caused by your fatty liver. For your peace of mind, you probably do not have liver cancer.

i have that...eating very fatty foods, wrong foods

A liver Biopsy will probably follow, Fatty Deposits aren't a good thing either.
