A member asked:

I had a ct with contrast/dye it showed i had a cyst/hemangioma on liver.had an ultrasound. it stated: long axis right lobe 18cm with bulbous contour of the inferior portion of the right hepatic lobe similar to ct scan. what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

That’s just describing the shape of the liver and what they saw. It would probably be best interpreted by whichever doctor ordered the tests.
