General Surgeon,  's  Response
hi.

noted history of right-sided pain and cystic lesion in the liver. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon or a gastroenterologist, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. usually, cysts of that size could be managed conservatively (regular monitoring thru imaging and clinic evaluation) especially if it is not producing any symptom. but if it is, a consultation may be best and discuss with your doctor the plan of management/treatment approach. diagnostics and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
