Liver cysts and spleen enlargement, what's going on?
Liver cysts and an enlarged spleen are terms used in imaging studies. For liver cysts, they are common benign tumors and usually, the patient does not experience any significant discomfort. Thus, no special treatment is required; regular follow-up with ultrasound to monitor changes in size is sufficient. However, if a liver cyst grows large, it can cause pain in the liver area. If liver function becomes abnormal, surgical removal may be considered. As for an enlarged spleen, it is caused by various conditions that lead to an increase in spleen size, such as in cases of portal hypertension, which often results in splenomegaly and hyperfunctioning spleen. Blood disorders may also cause the spleen to enlarge. Therefore, the treatment varies depending on the underlying cause.
