Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood the history about your Mother. She had undergone kidney transplant 3 years ago, has UTI that is not getting under contro, the ultrasonography shows kidney is fine but they found a fatty lump on the liver.

From this report one thing is certain that there is no cancer or so, hence nothing much to worry about.

Fatty lump on the liver needs no active treatment.
-To confirm that this is benign, it is better to get Contrast enhanced CT scan or MRI and keep this under observation.
-Get Liver function tests done, and if no need to worry if these are normal.
I find this answer helpful
