Is Having Cysts In Both Lobes Of Liver A Serious Condition?
a ct scam reveals i have a5.3x3.6cm bilobed cystic abnormality in the subdiaphragmatic segment vlll of the right lobe of liver. multiple tiny 2-3 mm cysts are also seen scattered in both lobes of liver .Is this a serious condition? and what causes this?
Your finding suggests multiple simple liver cysts in both lobes. It is generally an age related developmental findings. Generally this condition doesn't require any treatment.It may only require follow up ultrasound. It may require surgical intervention if there is pain,infection,increase in size etc. At present,I only advise for follow up ultrasound if you are asymptomatic. This is usually not a serious finding.
