Ultrasound Of Abdomen Shows 1.8cm Hepatic Probable Complex Cyst With Wall Calcification. Advice
Good eve, i am 35yr old male. I was sent to get an ultrasound of the abdomen. I was diagnosed with a cyst in my liver. I do not drink or smoke.
This is what my finds are.
Liver measures 14.9 cm in length and is normal size, shape and parenchymal echogenicity. No intrahepatic ductal dilatation.There is a 1.8cm circumscribed anechoic structure within the right hepatic lobe with focal ring down artifact about its posterior aspect.
Impression:1.8cm hepatic probable complex cyst with wall calcification.If there is clinical concern, recommend further evaluation with contrast enhanced CT abdomen..
Please advise
Thank you!

Hello friend,
Your question does not give information whether your USG was done as a routine investigation or it was advised by a physician following any abdominal complaint like pain or discomfort in the liver region. I presume that it was found out following a routine check up because the cystic area in the liver is a compromised one and not an active one. The calcification is the result of such a situation. That means the cyst is not active and is not going to do any harm for you. What you have to do is just forget about the cyst in your liver and stop worrying over the liver complaint. Body has got several such compromising activities which are a part of its similar defence mechanisms.
It has got no connection with your habit of drinking or smoking.
It is not going to do any harm on you in future provided you are not too much worried about that.
With best wishes,
