Hi,

Few white spots on liver at this gestational age is something not to be worried, if everything else is normal. Let us be confident at this point of time and picture will be more clear on a send ultrasound 4-6 weeks later- where we can assess the overall growth rate of the baby and whether the said lesions are resolving or progressing.

Such findings can be seen in conditions like (which you need not worry now) trisomy 21, congenital infections, and very rarely neoplasms. Your doctor will discuss in more details during coming visits.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
