    A liver lesion is an abnormal area of tissue found within the liver, commonly detected on imaging such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI. Liver lesions are very common, and the majority are benign (non- cancerous).

    Common benign liver lesions include:

    Liver cysts

    Liver haemangiomas

    Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH)

    Hepatocellular adenomas

    Most benign liver lesions do not cause symptoms, do not become cancerous, and often require no treatment.
