No need to worry: Liver cysts are common benign findings seen on abdominal ct scans and you shouldn't worry about it.

See below: Fatty liver change is an important medical condition. It may lead to additional liver damages and even liver fibrosis/cirrhosis. I would recommend talking to your doctor to manage this condition. Ct occasionally can show findings in the liver that was not see on us. This is mainly because us does not show the entire liver as well as ct. Liver cysts are typically benign.
