Female | 29
It looks like you have a lesion on your liver. Hepatic adenoma or hepatic hemangioma is what this can be. Liver lesions could cause pain. Treatment will depend on the specific kind of lesion. Sometimes all that is needed is watching the lesion over time. In other cases, surgery might be required among other procedures. Make sure to follow up with your doctor so that the best plan can be made for you.
