A member asked:

What if a ct scan revealed a spot on my liver?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Several: Possibilities including cyst, benign/malignant tumor, scarring, and fatty deposits. Too many diagnoses to consider without more information. Sometimes MRI is used to narrow the list (when needed).

Depends: It depends on what kind of spot: the size, the appearance. Also on your medical risks and history.
