Suggest Treatment For A Cyst In The Posterior Right Hepatic Lobe Of The Liver
I have a 8mm cyst in the posterior right hepatic lobe of my liver and a 14-15mm oval lesion along the medial aspect of the anterior spleen. This lesion measures about 63 hounsfield units and is probably some type of benign complex cyst. What does this mean in my English?
The 8 mm cyst in posterior right hepatic lobe is a benign condition and not a serious concern. It is a peas sized fluid filled area that is probably harmless and will not cause any problem to you.
There is another 15 mm area in front of the spleen which is having soft tissue density and is classified as a benign complex cyst. In most people such a cyst is not a problem but the exact location has to be visualized on the image to draw a conclusion on its origin. You can discuss with your doctor and if required then do an ultrasound scan in 3 to 6 months and this will confirm if the cyst is benign. Please do not worry.
