Hi,
It shows a small hepatic space occupying lesion which might be a hepatic cyst or a fibrous band.
Hepatic cysts are quite common in general population.
If you have clinical symptoms, you may need a hepatologist opinion, liver function tests or CT guided biopsy. Avoid fatty meals and alcohol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
