What Causes A Solid Mass In Liver And Normal Liver Enzymes?

I am 64 years old, they just did a Catscan on my liver and found a mass about 1.7 in. The liver enzeme test on my liver came back normal. If it is normal could or would that rule out cancer. Also, it is a solid mass and was wondering if it could be fatty liver or a cyst?

Hi
If it's a solid mass then it isn't a cyst and cancer isn't ruled out by normal liver function tests. You need a PET scan of the liver and possibly a fine-needle biopsy for diagnosis
