Liver Tumor
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A liver tumor is an abnormal mass or growth of tissue in this organ; it can be benign or malignant in nature, and its study aims to determine the type and its origin.
Who evaluates it? The oncologist takes part in managing malignant tumors, the general surgeon in those that require an operation and, in children, the pediatric oncologist; the general practitioner guides the first consultation.
Possible manifestations: many cause no symptoms at first; over time, discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen, weight loss, or yellowing of the skin may appear.
When should it be checked? When digestive symptoms persist or findings appear on imaging studies, the recommended step is to place yourself in the hands of a specialist for a complete evaluation.
