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.
Although the cause of liver hemangioma is not known, it is believed to be congenital (birth defect). Usually, it occurs as a single mass about 4 â 5 centimeters in size. When they are small, they are harmless and do not require any extensive testing or treatment. Occasionally, they can be larger or occur in multiples. hepatic hemangioma is the most common noncancerous tumor of the liver. It is estimated to be present in as many as 2 â 7% of healthy individuals. Although liver hemangiomas may be present since birth, they are commonly detected at 30 â 50 years of age.
