It could be benign: Or cancerous. An MRI & a pet scan can help differentiate the two. Best wishes!

Usually not: Most of the liver cysts are benign , some may be related to parasite infections like hydatid cyst , rarely benign cyst adenoma or malignant cyst adenocarcinoma are septated cysts , are very rare.

Usually not: I've seen these often at autopsy and they're quite benign. Ask the radiologist for a better idea.
