A member asked:
Could a cancerous tumor look like a hepatic hemangioma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can: Hemangiomas in the liver are a fairly common finding on the ct scans. They can mimic a cancer. So it takes some effort for the radiologist to make a distinction, but it can be separated by the team of oncologist and radiologist working together and consulting each other.
