Dr. Morris Sherman, an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto, examines the appropriate approach to a liver mass found in patients who are symptomatic, a mass that is found incidentally during an ultrasound or CT scan for a completely unrelated cause, and a mass that is found as a result of a screening for hepatocellular carcinoma. He discusses how the approach and the likelihood of a particular diagnosis differs in each of these three situations, and presents some algorithms used to sort through the various possibilities.
