A member asked:
Is a liver spot found during an ultrasound anything to worry about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: 'liver spot' is an old-fashioned term which refers to sun spots or sun damage on the skin. They have nothing to do with the liver. Sun spots or lentigos are usually benign, but if the pigment is very dark, they can be malignant and should be examined by a dermatologist.
