Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

These isolated lesions are less likely to be cancer, but ultrasound is not a diagnostic modality of choice. Although ultrasound is always used for screening or monitoring the size, the consultant will go for a CT (computed tomography) scan or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) whenever a patient needs better imaging. Considering the increase in the size of the previous hemangioma, the appearance of a new one, and the use of oral contraceptives, I suggest a better evaluation with a CT scan or MRI. Having a stable weight is a good sign. MRI is as good as a CT scan, with no issues.

Thank you.

I do not think that the previous hemangioma was cancer. However, it is very common to see the increasing size of hemangioma, especially in female patients with a history of oral contraceptive use. The other hemangioma was likely missed due to its very small size. So ultrasound does have some limitations too. I have suggested the workup for you to clear out this issue. Do not search in the internet, it will provide you with unfiltered information, and you will be more anxious, inform your doctor that you want better abdominal imaging and some blood workup.

Hope this helps.

Kindly revert for further queries.

Thank you.
