Hello! Liver cyst is a phenomenon that forms an empty space containing fluid in the liver, it is considered a benign tumor, not causing cancer. In the case of large cysts can hold 1-2 liters of fluid. Large cysts can rupture causing hemorrhage, if cysts are mobile,
cysts may be twisted. In general, liver cysts are not too dangerous: When detecting the disease, it is necessary to test to remove the parasites from the body with antibiotics. When the liver cyst is small (less than 4cm) it usually does not need to be treated. When the liver cyst is large (over 4cm) it is necessary to see a doctor for appropriate treatment. Laparoscopic surgery is a common, simple and effective method widely applied in the treatment of liver cysts. In addition, now there is a method that can also be applied, which is the aspiration method. You should visit a gastroenterology specialist at the Vinmec system hospitals to be examined, treated and closely monitored!
Thank you for sending your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
