Difficult to say what the lumps are without examination of the imaging studies.
I would assume an ultrasound was performed that showed the lumps. Further testing with a CT scan or MRI can be considered.
If there still is a question about the diagnosis, a biopsy can be considered for a more definitive diagnosis.
A referral to a GI specialist or a hepatologist (liver specialist) can be considered.
These options can be discussed with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
