Liver nodules usually grow, but the rate of growth may vary widely. Hepatic nodules are nodular changes in the liver, caused by various factors that result in the proliferation of fibrous tissue and disruption of the hepatic trabecular arrangement. There are benign and malignant nodules, which usually grow, slowly if actively controlled or without triggering factors, and faster if stimulated by triggering factors. Benign nodules include cirrhotic nodules, hepatic adenomas, focal nodular hyperplasia, and hepatic hemangiomas, which usually grow slowly. Hepatic adenomas and hepatic hemangiomas may grow faster under the effect of estrogen; cirrhotic nodules may grow faster under the aggravation of cirrhosis; malignant nodules include primary hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatic cholangiocarcinoma, metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, etc., and the growth rate is generally faster than that of benign ones. Liver nodules need to be followed up and observed, small benign nodules do not need special treatment, while malignant and cancerous cirrhotic nodules and hepatic adenomas need to be closely followed up and reviewed, and found to have obvious growth and need to be treated as soon as possible, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
