Liver cysts are benign and are described through ultrasonography and CT imaging. Liver cysts are a type of benign tumor and typically do not cause any noticeable discomfort. Most are discovered incidentally during ultrasound examinations. Therefore, when liver cysts are identified, there is generally no cause for extreme concern, nor is there a need for special treatment; regular ultrasound follow-ups are sufficient. However, in some patients, if the liver cysts grow large, they may cause pain in the liver area or even affect liver function. In these cases, surgical removal is necessary to achieve better treatment outcomes. Thus, the treatment for liver cysts primarily depends on their size.
