Low-density shadow in the liver may be the manifestation of liver cysts, hepatic hemangioma or liver cancer.
1. Liver cysts: after cysts are formed in liver tissues, the density of cyst tissues will be lower than that of normal liver tissues, which will produce low-density shadows during CT examination.
2. Hepatic hemangioma: after the blood vessels in the liver have bulging changes, hepatic hemangioma is often formed, which will also produce abnormal changes of localized low-density shadow.
3. Hepatocellular carcinoma: when cancer occurs in liver tissues, the local liver cells will show low differentiation changes, and local hypodense shadow will also be produced in the early stage of examination.
The manifestation of hypodense shadow in the liver may be seen in many cases, and if necessary, the pathological section of liver lesion can be taken for further examination to make a clear diagnosis, and proper treatment and regular review in the later stage should be paid attention to under the guidance of doctors, so as to have a better prognosis.
