Hello
Generally simple cysts in liver and lung are benign findings.It is important to know size of cysts.
It usually doesn't require any treatment unless there is any complications like pain,size enlargement etc.
However,you need clinical correlation.If you don't have any symptoms then it may only require follow up scan.
You may need pulmonary function test(PFT)and liver function test(LFT) for proper evaluation.
