what is subcentimeter hypodense lesion left hepatic lobe?

Hello and hope you are doing well.

The hypodense (darker) nodule in the liver could be due to a tumor, cyst or sometimes hemangioma. This could also be due to inflammation or scarring. Subcentimeter is less than a centimeter. This is again correlated with the liver function tests and clinical symptoms/history. If needed then a liver biopsy may be needed. Again a follow up may be mandatory to see for changes in the lesion. Discuss the options with your doctor.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
