Ultra sound just found a liver nodule?? Primary reason for having the ultrasound was possible gallstones.....yes the nurse said I had gallstones....had MRI on abdomen and am awaiting results. What IS a liver nodule and should I be scared? Was told years ago that I had a fatty liver?? Do not drink alcohol. What are the possibilities here?
Hello Liver nodule may be due to both reasons benign and malignant. You need clinical correlation and further investigations. You are rightly suggested for MRI. It helps in better characterization of nodule. Tumour markers and FNAC can be done if needed.FNAC/Biopsy can exactly assess nature of nodule. You also need operation for gallbladder calculus.Don't worry about fatty liver. Fatty liver is a reversible condition, but underlying cause should be searched and treated. Get well soon.
