Hard to tell.: In someone your age and sex, a single round echogenic nodule up to 5cm in size is most commonly a benign finding called a hemangioma. If your liver enzymes are normal this is probably the case. Another possibility is hepatic adenoma, another benign lesion often associated with prolonged use of oral contraceptives. Also with normal liver enzymes but sometimes pain if bled into.More details?

Probably benign: Most homogeneous echogenic lesions in the liver are benign, however the actual imaging appearance including the appearance of the tissue around the lesion is important to make that claim. A cavernous hemangioma is the most common benign diagnosis. Get a copy of your ultrasound report and review it with your doctor. If things remain unclear, further workup and additional imaging may be needed.
