Pain In Rib Cage, Pain Near Kidney And Liver Area. Liver Had Lesion. WBC And Bilirubin High. What Is This?
Question: Hello doctor, could you please help me?
About 2 years ago my problem started and till now nobody was able to make diagnoses. I have a pushing/burning pain under the right ribcage. The pain was moving into the centre. I also had a paind in back again right side in the kidney and liver area and also down. I had endoscopy done, biopsy taken= results negative, had ultrasound= liver had a lesion but been told that this could not make the pain, otherwise all good, had an MRI scan two weeks after and all good and no lesion on liver found. Symtoms disappeared.
Last summer and had it all back and been taken to hospital, new ultrasound done= lesion on liver again and white blood cell higher (0000)+bilirubin a bit higher. I have been give antibiotics. After two weeks again symptoms disappeard. Two weeks later it came all back but stronger+dizziness and temperature. Another blood test and the same result+ white blood cells up and billirubin.
The last attach I am having now, my stool is light color and the other symptoms are the same.
Doctors do not know what to do because all other test for liver and kidney are good.
My dad has been diagnosed with bowel cancer and has Crohn disease. I do not know if this has anything to do with me. I am 34 and my dad 56.
Thank you very much for your answer

Hi and thanks for the reports
Small hemangiomas are more easily seen on an ultrasound than a normal CT/ MR. A triple phase CT/ MR is best to see a hemangioma as it fills up rapidly and shows a centripetal fashion. Hemangiomas close to the surface and are subcapsular can cause mild discomfort and pain. Hemangiomas are harmone sensitive and increase in size with exposure to estrogen harmone - pregnancy and contraceptive pills.
Please provide the endoscopy report as gastritis itself can produce the symptoms listed here. Both these conditions will have a normal blood workup
