Liver Hemangioma Hematoma
Posted: 07-19-07 02:02am

HI,
I had a cardiac cath. on 8/29/06 which left me with severe abdominal pain, bloating and nausea. I had a CT of abd. w/oral and iv contrast which showed a right pelvic wall hematoma 9x3 cm, and they incidently found a 2.2x1.6cm hypodense lesion in the central liver that demonstrates mild peripheral nodular enhancement - prob. represents a hemangioma. Also a proximal 1.0 cm hypovascular lesion in the anterolateral periphery of the right lobe - given hypervascularity it may represent a focal nodular hyperplasia. My questions are:

1. My severe GI symptoms started right after catheterization - could the hematoma have caused these symptoms? I have no prior history of GI problems.

2. Do I need to follow up with the other two findings(Hemangioma and FNH)? My cardiologist that ordered the CT doesn't seem to think so.

3.My PCP was concerened when he received a copy of the CT report because I started running a temp. - around 100 - He ordered a f/u CT and it showed a RLQ fluid collection with inflammatory changes and fat stranding in the region. My PCP put me on Augmentin for 10 days. Was he just being cautious or would this be considered an abscess??


I would greatly appreciate your time and response.

Thank you.
