Hello
Your finding suggests multiple simple liver cysts in both lobes.
It is generally an age related developmental findings.
Generally this condition doesn't require any treatment.It may only require follow up ultrasound.
It may require surgical intervention if there is pain,infection,increase in size etc.
At present,I only advise for follow up ultrasound if you are asymptomatic.
This is usually not a serious finding.
Get well soon.
Take Care
