What Does "shadow On Liver" Mean?

My Mother recently had Paget's breast cancer and after radiotherapy treatment was told that everything was fine. After three months she had a routine scan to check that the cancer had not spread elsewhere. She was told that she had a "shadow" on her liver, but there was no cause for concern. What does this mean?

A darker area on the scan that may indicate a mass. The scan should be repeated in 3-6 months for comparison and to ensure that no growth has taken place.
