Brief Answer:
Possibility of malignant lung mass is more.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of malignant lung mass is more likely in superior segment of right lower lobe.
Spiculated margins and absence of calcification favour Malignancy more.
So better to get done PET scan.
Cyst in left lobe of liver is mostly a simple benign cyst (accidental finding).
I need more information to guide you further.
1. Do you smoke?
2. Do you have any previous chest x ray?
3. What are your symptoms?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
