Avatar m tn A hypodense lesion does not enhance on injection of intravenous contrast and may represent a benign lesion, haemangioma, simple hepatic cyst, abscess, lipoma, or a malignant lesion. To reach a diagnosis in your case, it is necessary to discuss the findings of this scan with your physician, and in the context of clinical symptoms, physical examination and liver function tests.
Avatar f tn More specifically it is called Amoebic Liver Abscess. The abscess, if it is one, is relative small and can be cured by antibiotics. No need to go in for aspiration. It is 100% curable. Also go in for a blood test along with a liver function test to test the levels of the enzymes. But, FIRST consult a good gastroenterologist. I wouldnt worry if I were you.

Avatar m tn A lesion is a general term that covers all growths in the Liver. Most growths are benign and cause no problems. Such as cysts, hemangiomas, etc. * What type of lesion are you speaking of? * Do you have cirrhosis? * How was the lesion detected? * What does your doctor say? Cheers!
Avatar f tn The ultrasound showed a 2 x 3.5 cm lesion on the left side of my liver, not sure which lobe. I had a CT Scan with contrast (IV dye & Barium drink ?) and have not yet found out the results. My symptoms have subsided, but still experiencing pain in my back and side which is probably in my head now that I know something is up with my liver. I am a nervous wreck waiting for the results. What could it be, I like to be prepared to deal with any possibility.
Avatar m tn Symptoms of staph infections are often caused by toxins, released from only few staphylococci, so a culture of obviously infected lesion may be negative! From this reason, samples from more than one lesion has to be provided, if possible.
Avatar n tn The lesion appeared on the picture is different from your descriptions. The lesions appear to be erythematous, flat , ulcerated, well demarcated . Clinical differential diagnoses include , but not limited to,traumatic ulcer, vesiculobulous lesion,hypersensitivy. If the lesion does'nt resolve within 2 weeks, seeing an oral pathologist is advised.
Avatar f tn If a localized area of the breast is involved, an acute abscess of the breast should be ruled-out. Popping or pricking the pimple-like lesion will produce breaks in the skin and secondary infection may result, producing more harm than good. It would be best to consult your doctor for proper evaluation and management.
1657607 tn?1302276679 I have on my upper leg in the crease between groin and leg a lesion that is very sore and bleeds constantly. The area stays moist most of the time. The lesion is swollen and hard and has an round opening where it bleeds. The soreness has expanded to my pubic hair area. Any ideas what it could be?
Avatar f tn I have mod-advanced periodontal disease and developed a PA abscess and cyst in 7 months which caused severe pain and swelling that required extraction. How did it come about? Is it from dental decay combined with periodontal disease? It was tooth 26 with over 7 mm gum pocket and 50% mobility.. Just wondering if I could have saved it earlier with maybe a root canal? Hope to hear from some expert.
Avatar m tn The fact that your son does not have any respiratory problems or other signs of illness is reassuring, and probably indicates that the current antibiotic treatment is at least keeping the liver abscess from getting worse, and may be adequately treating the abscess. Over time, the CRP should continue to drop as the infection is treated.
Avatar n tn Hi there. This looks like an injection site abscess or cyst following intramuscular injections. You need to consult a general surgeon to assess this lesion, he would decide whether it requires incison and drainage( abscess) or enucleation of the cyst. It could also be fibrosis of a portion of the muscle due to the drug injected. Hope this helps .Take care.
Avatar f tn I've had an abscess (it's draining and draining and draining) for about 10 years, but it hasn't gone away totally yet, but it's much better than it was initially. I take cod liver oil with butter oil and try to avoid eating a lot of sugar and refined flour. I do have high blood pressure which I heard that it may be caused by a long term infection, so it's something to watch out for. That is SO great your abscess has healed!
Avatar m tn Periapical lesion tends to increase and abscess may develope, if no appropriate treatment intervened. If extraction is the treatment of choice, immediate implant may be implemented if clinical condition permitted and surgeon's experience and competency. The other option is immediate temporary restoration, which may be removable or fixed partial denture. Seeing a dentist is advised.
Avatar m tn I've had an abscess or boil on my upper back between my spine and shoulder blade that doesn't seem to be coming to a head but instead drying up or being reabsorbed into the skin. It's about 1 - 2 cm in diameter, pink and a little soft (can feel some fluid inside) but not painful and not getting larger or smaller and I'm having what seems like muscular shooting pain up my neck and down my spine on that same side.
