Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol is produced in the liver and released into the bloodstream to supply body tissues with a type of fat (triglycerides). There are several types of cholesterol, each made up of lipoproteins and fats. Each type of lipoprotein contains a mixture of cholesterol, protein and triglycerides, but in varying amounts. About half of a VLDL particle is made up of triglycerides.
Hemangioma of the Liver. A liver hemangioma is a benign (noncancerous) mass that grows in the liver. A liver hemangioma is made up of blood vessels that are tangled and contain blood and is less than 4 centimeters (1.5 inches) in size. Sometimes liver hemangiomas can be larger than this, or there may be several present in the liver.
A hepatic hemangioma is the most common type of liver tumor that is not caused by cancer. It may be a birth defect. Hepatic hemangiomas can occur at any time. They are most common in people in their 30s to 50s. Women get these tumors more often than men and the tumors are often bigger.
