Should I Be Worried About Cyst In Liver Which Was Seen In Ct Scan For Appendix?

I had a ct scan 2 months ago for my appendix. The doctors office just called me last week to tell me that I have a cyst on my liver that was seen on the scan. I went and had the ultrasound done that was ordered on my whole abdomen. Should I be worried?

YOU HAVE NOT GIVEN ANY DESCRIPTION OF LIVER CYST-SIZE, SITE IN LIVER, COMPONENTS INSIDE THE CYST,ETC AS WOULD HAVE BEEN SEEN IN CT/USG SCAN. HENCE NO DEFINATE ANSWER CAN BE GIVEN. A SIMPLE CYST NEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED UP BY YEARLY USG SCANS. HYDATED CYSTS NEEDS CONSIDERATION FOR EXCISION/ PAIR PROCEDURE.
