A hepatic tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the liver, which can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The most common type of malignant hepatic tumor is hepatocellular carcinoma, often associated with chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis or hepatitis. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, weight loss, and jaundice, but some individuals may not experience noticeable symptoms. Diagnosis typically involves imaging techniques like ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI, along with blood tests to check liver function and tumor markers. Treatment options vary based on the tumor type and stage, including surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Early detection is crucial for improving outcomes.
