Should I Be Worried About Ultrasound Showing Hyperechoic Nodule Liver?

I'm 46 years old and I stand 5'6" in height. Recently, I had an ultrasound and the result shows that there is an incidental note of a "Heperechoic Nodule in the Right Lobe of the Liver measuring 3.8x2.5x3.1 cm. Does this need medical attention? Is this something that I need to worry about? Please shed light on this. Thanks.

General Surgeon 's  Response
hi.

noted ultrasound result. are you experiencing any signs or symptoms related to it? it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. it may be just a benign liver nodule which warrants observation if not causing any symptom. other things that must be ruled-out are malignancy and metastatic disease. diagnostics (ct-scan, such as tissue diagnosis, liver function tests, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
