I too have the same note on mine with other concerns.

Abdomen and Pelvis CT scan results.

Hepatobiliary System. Subcentimeter hypodensity in the left lobe is too small to characterize but statistically most likely benign. How would they know if it's most likely benign?

Also I had my gallbladder out and been having problems after I eat with a large lump that is painful after I eat and have to keep pushing down on it until it relieves pressure and the pain. Where in this note they speak of it being too small which might explain my troubles now. As it says: Cholecystectomy likely accounts for bile duct prominence. This only requires further evaluation of there is concern of biliary abnormality?

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.
