Aetiology
Benign neoplasms of the liver or intrahepatic bile ducts are typically caused by genetic mutations or environmental influences. Genetic mutations can lead to abnormal cell growth, while environmental influences can include viral infections, toxins, and radiation exposure.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of benign neoplasms of the liver or intrahepatic bile ducts can be made through laboratory tests, imaging tests such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and/or biopsy.
Differential diagnosis
Differential diagnoses of benign neoplasms of the liver or intrahepatic bile ducts include cirrhosis, hepatitis, and other forms of cancer.
Treatment
Treatment options for benign neoplasms of the liver or intrahepatic bile ducts typically include surgical resection to remove the tumor, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy.
Prognosis
The prognosis for benign neoplasms of the liver or intrahepatic bile ducts is generally good with early diagnosis and treatment. The prognosis can vary depending on the size and location of the tumor.
