: There should be concern and best care,advice&amp; follow-up would be obtained by a hepatologist or gastroenterologist. The goal is to prevent worsening and development of extensive fatty infiltration which leads to inflammatory changes and scarring of the liver.

This was found incidentally on my CT scan with contrast. The dr didnt even mention it. Should I be concerned? Subcentimeter hypodensity in the right hepatic lobe too small to characterize but statistically a hepatic cyst? Can it become cancer?

If non-contrast CT="Promnant RT hemidiaphragm eventration. RT upper lobe of liver is a 20mm ill-defined hypodensity," why does Non-Contrst MRI="linear low signal in RT lobe, likely fibrosis/scarring," not mention the 20mm finding? Can MRI not see it?
