    Treatment depends on whether the lesion is benign or cancerous, its size and location, extent of spread, liver function, and overall health. Benign liver lesions usually require no treatment and may only need periodic monitoring.

    Liver transplantation.

    Local treatments such as ablation, embolization or radiotherapy.
