Hello

Ultrasound findings suggests 4.3 x 4.2 cm bright(hyperechoic) lesion in right lobe of liver.It may be due to many causes like hemangioma,adenoma etc.
This findings need further investigations like CT scan of abdomen.
CT scan is very helpful in diagnosis and treatment.
CT scan can assess enhancement pattern and this is helpful in characterization of lesions.
CT scan can also assess associated findings like lymph nodes etc which is usually not evaluated well by ultrasound.

Treatment depend upon findings.Hemangioma usually only need regular follow up.

Take Care
