I have a 5 centimeter complicated liver cyst. is this a reason for concern?

Could be: Depending your travel history, it could be a parasitic cyst and needs to be evaluated. It would be prudent to consult a liver specialist. A cyst of this size may be treatable with radio-frequency ablation, without needed open surgery.
