What Is a Liver Cyst?
1. Overview
As mentioned, cysts can develop pretty much anywhere on the body, and the liver is no exception. Liver cysts are quite rare, though, and only around 5% of people will develop them. Little is known why they occur, although they are often linked with other medical conditions.
The cysts will sometimes consist of a solid mass of cells. In other cases, they can be made of a type of fluid. Liver cysts are usually quite harmless, and many people won’t even be aware that they have one. The cysts can also usually be treated, that is if treatment is even deemed necessary.
