Clinically, cystic lesions in the liver are mostly not liver cancer lesions, because liver cancer is a malignant tumor occurring in the liver.
Clinically, on imaging, it is mainly manifested as occupying lesions in the liver, appearing as multiple hepatic nodules fused into a mass, or as a huge single nodular lesion. These lesions generally appear as solid lesions.
When the tumor is large, ischemic necrosis can occur due to insufficient blood supply to the central area, resulting in cystic changes in the central region of the solid lesion.
Therefore, some patients with large liver cancer may have cystic and solid lesions on imaging, but in most cases, liver cancer lesions are solid.
