Hello and welcome to HCM,

Presence of cysts in liver and kidney is non-neoplastic condition.
The cysts of multiple organs are seen concurrently/ together.
These cysts are incidental finding most of the times.
They are detected incidently when investigated for other condition.
If asymptomatic they can be left as such.
If they cause symptoms like pain, hemorrhage, rupture, etc they need to be removed surgically.
There is an infectious condition called hydatid cyst disease which causes similar cysts.
it can occur in various organs at one time.
There is history of contact with cattle in this infection.
test done to confirm this disease is skin test.
If you have such history, investigations for it can be done.
Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

Thanks and take care
