My father has been diagnosed with cholesterol deposit in gall bladder and cyst in the liver. He frequently suffers from pain in the stomach, legs and used to be heavy smoker so has smokers cough as well. Is the high LDL and cycst in liver (which was present in an ultrasonography done two years ago as well) a cause for concern?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. In most cases these spots are benign growths such as cysts or hematomas. Hematoma is very small and this can't cause such symptoms unless larger than 10\u00a0cm. He should do MRI SCN or liver biopsy to find what type of lesion it is.  Less common this may be malignant issues such as hepatocellular carcinoma. His abdominal pain may not be related to liver spots at all. It may always be sign of some other issues such as IBD or gastritis. If these are just simple liver cysts then I don't think this is causing his symptoms. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
