What are Benign Liver Tumors?
These are non-cancerous masses or lesions within the liver. Benign tumors of the liver affect nearly 20% of the population in the United States. Benign lesions of the liver are correspondingly increasing as the use of diagnostic imaging increases. The major benign lesions include cystic tumors such as simple cysts, cystadenomas and echinococcal cysts. Major benign solid lesions include hepatic adenomas, focal nodular hyperplasia and hemangiomas.
