Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In most cases, these spots are benign growths such as cysts or hemangiomas. Hemangioma is very small and this can't cause such symptoms unless larger than 10 cm.
He should do MRI scn or liver biopsy to find what type of lesion it is. Less common chance is this may be malignant issues such as hepatocellular carcinoma.
His abdominal pain may not be related to liver spots at all. It may always be sign of some other issues such as IBD or gastritis. If these are just simple liver cysts then I don't think this is causing his symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
