A member asked:
What are the probability that liver shadows are tumours?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: Most healthy people have spots on their liver. These are usually benign (not cancerous) cysts called "hemangiomas", which are spaces filled with fluid. The radiologist who interprets the images will know if the spots are worrisome, and will then order a different test or a biopsy. If you have had cancer, spots in your liver could be signs of spread and need to be checked more thoroughly.

Depends: Agree with Dr. W. Liver shadows is not a medical term and it would depend on the actual finding seen by the radiologist.
