General Surgeon,  's  Response
hi.

the liver ultrasound of your father is suggestive of two things: 1 - he has gallstones (multiple enhanced echogenic lesions) and 2 - he has liver lesions (heterogenous lesions), both subcentimeter in size and probably benign liver lesions.

for his gallstones, if symptomatic, the definitve and goldstandard treatment is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. for the other lesions, regular monitoring is needed. a consult with a general surgeon is best. it is not an emergency condition, but have a sense of urgency in terms of treatment as the course of the disease might progress. a low fat, low cholesterol diet would also be of importance.

hope this helps.

good day!!
