A member asked:

Ct scan w/contrast showed stable hepatic calcification in the left lobe of liver. what does that mean? something to be concerned about?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Benign: Nothing to worry about. Probably from a prior infection that your body took care of and is now calcified. It is of no significance whatsoever.
