A member asked:

Liver biopsy done found fibrosis. no hep no bc no alcohol. can biopsy not be deep enough in 9.5cmx6cm mass to see the true issue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Liver biopsy: If the current biopsy has a diagnosis which is not conclusive I would ask for a second pathology group to evaluate the biopsy sample. A 9.5cm mass is large and can usually be targeted. Ask your doctor to speak with the radiologist who performed the biopsy to ensure they feel the needle was in good location during the biopsy. A repeat biopsy may be in order. Best of luck.
