Brief Answer:
Dermoid cyst in liver

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.



Teratoma of Liver/Dermoid cyst in the liver can have bone or remnants of tooth or cartilage with calcification which can appear as bone in liver on MRI scan.
The presence of a cystic lesion in the liver with calcification in the wall of the cyst can also appear as bony resemblance on MRI scan.
Material from the cyst also can form a nidus of stone formation.

Regards
