Hello,
With the question "How to treat benign cysts? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Benign liver tumors include hemangiomas, hepatocellular adenomas, syphilis and liver cysts. Most cases of benign liver tumors progress quite slowly and cause almost no complications.

Treatments for benign liver tumors basically do not require treatment but must be monitored periodically. Treatment or surgery when the tumor grows too large to encroach on nearby tissues, blood vessels and cause damage, or has complications of cyst rupture, bleeding within the tumor.
