HEPATITIS C COMMUNITY
Diagnosed with Cysts on my Liver

Diagnosed with Cysts on my Liver

I am a 60 year old female.  I have continued pain on my right side.  The pain is towards the back, below the ribs, in the crease of my waist.  I had an ultrasound done thinking it was due to Ballblader.  The results were negative with the exception of two cysts found on my liver.  The doctor said most of the time these are not cancerous.  She wants to repeat the test in three months.  I'm not comfortable with waiting and want to see a specialist to possibly have them removed.  Do cysts on the liver become cancer and can they be removed.  Should I be concerned?

Thank you.

I have a cyst on my liver.  Went to 2 specialists and both said not to worry-- no chance of becomming cancerous and about 5% of the population is born with them.  I would get a 2nd opinion for your peace of mind, but I wouldn't worry too much.  Also, think long and hard about letting anyone convince you of surgery if you and those little cysts can cohabitate happily.
