Although FNH is seen mainly in females there are still a few men out there who have it too, so you shouldn't worry too much about that one
Many on these boards have been diagnosed with these tumors and we have all gone through the fear factor that you are going through now. I also have a 5.2 cm FNH which was diagnosed in May 2008 and the Drs are monitoring it now on a yearly basis. It takes a while to get your head round it and to accept that there is this growth in your liver, but once you do accept it and recognise that it isn't causing any harm you should be able to move on in your life. I have a strong family history of cancers (4 siblings) so I know where you're coming from on that one. All I can say is that if the Drs had any thoughts that your growth is anything other than an fnh then I reckon they'd have you in and remove it. Have you seen a hepatologist? these Drs are more specialised in liver disease than general gastro enterologists and if you haven't seen one I suggest you do. You will find that they don't work out of all hospitals but will work in a large teaching hospital with a liver transplant unit attached. I'm in the UK and travel to London for my check ups. I hope that this information helps and try to stay calm
