DEAR DR. ROACH: I was diagnosed with several liver cysts over 15 years ago. My primary doctor and I follow the growth of the cysts by ultrasound, and one is increasing in size. We did an MRI with and without contrast to take a look at the cyst. The radiologist stated that the cyst looked "complex" and, for a lack of a better word, unusual.

A liver specialist's consult revealed that we could remove it if I wanted to. The doctor stated he just had a patient who had a cyst, and it was a cancerous cyst. He felt that it may be best to remove it, but it's not urgent to do so.
