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.
Lesions on the liver are general anomalies in the tissue structure of the liver, notes WebMD. A hemangioma is a benign mass of anomalous blood vessels that is the most common cause of lesions on the liver, according to the American Liver Foundation and the California Pacific Medical Center. The second most commonly detected form of benign mass is a focal nodular hyperplasia, a tumor that does not require any treatment, explains the American Liver Foundation. Other causes of lesions on the liver include cystic conditions such as simple non-infectious cysts and polycystic liver disease, explains the California Pacific Medical Center.
