Thanks for your query.

The size of the cyst is important to predict complications/cancerous changes.Most of the small ovarian cysts disappear without any complications and only need follow up for confirmation. In your case the size of the cyst is reducing and it is a good sign. A follow up scan is suggested at regular intervals for confirmation.

Regarding the increase in size of the liver with fatty changes just check if your cholesterol/blood sugar/lipid profile is abnormal and if so take remedial actions with a follow up scan. The dilatation of the intrahepatic biliary radicals could happen if there is any obstruction leading to the outflow of bile.

Hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Thanks and Regards
