肝脏肿瘤可为囊性或实性,良性或恶性。大多数患者无临床症状且肝功能正常,常在进行超声波或CT检查时偶然发现。虽然多数为良性肿瘤且无需任何治疗,但对专业人员而言,能够区分需要进一步检查的病变十分重要,可以避免不必要的肝穿刺活组织检查。由于现代影像学和肝脏外科技术的进步,目前大多数肝脏恶性肿瘤能够像良性肿瘤一样被安全地切除,并可能获得根治。 Liver tumors can be cystic or solid, benign or malignant. Most patients have no clinical symptoms and liver function is normal, often by chance when ultrasound or CT examination. Although most are benign and require no treatment, it is important for a practitioner to be able to distinguish between lesions that require further examination and to avoid unnecessary liver biopsy. Due to advances in modern imaging and liver surgery, most of the current liver malignancies are safely resected and benign as benign tumors.
