Does anyone have a severe, itchy rash associated with liver tumors?

Posted by billbo @billbo, Mar 8 7:51am

I am a 75 fit male diagnosed Feb.2025 with neuroendocrine tumors in part of my pancreas and liver. One dose of Lanreotide so far.
I would say I have no side effects or symptoms other than weight loss and this horrible body rash that started a few months ago. The rash now covers pretty much my whole body and I get itchy "attacks" all over. I've been prescribed many creams, anti histamines and prednisone. Nothing seems to work! I am seeing a dermatologist soon. . Not sure if this will help?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.

@billbo, while not liver tumor specific, you might find this related discussion about liver disease and itching to be helpful:

Did you find anything helpful through the dermatologist?

I had an extremely itchy back for a good six months before I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Once I had the Whipple procedure, the itch disappeared.
