Hello,
A 9 cm cyst in liver can compress the surrounding structures. The nature of cyst needs to be investigated. The cyst can be symptomatic if there is hemorrhage. Management of liver cyst depends whether it the cyst is asymptomatic or symptomatic.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
