The description: is very nonspecific. Almost every focal liver abnormality, from benign to malignant, will be "hypodense" on CT scan. Hypodense means that it is less dense or less attenuating than normal liver, and looks darker than normal liver on the scan. Other CT features determine the level of suspicion. Most of these incidental findings turn out to be benign, but you need to discuss it with your doctor.
