A member asked:

6.5x5.5cm multioculated hypodensity nonenhancing liver cyst with no solid mass but with lobulations. could it be cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: Most cysts of the liver are not malignant. There are two types of malignancies in the liver and both are not cystic. The metastatic tumor from colon or other organ and the primary liver tumor or hepatoma and both solid.
