Liver nodules are not always a sign that cancer is present, as some liver nodules and tumors can be benign, according to the American Cancer Society. To determine if a nodule is benign or malignant (cancerous) a liver biopsy can be performed, as stated by Mayo Clinic.
What Is a Lung Nodule?
In patients with diffuse fatty change, metastases may be obscured on CT because their low attenuation is matched by the low attenuation of the surrounding liver. Occasionally, a ring of liver tissue immediately surrounding the lesion may be spared from fatty change, producing an irregular halo of denser tissue within an otherwise homogeneous liver.
Liver nodules most commonly occurring in normal liver include hemangioma, focal nodule hyperplasia (FNH) and hepatocellular adenoma (HA)....Follow us:Liver disease relatedLiver disease unrelatedHemangioma6 (3.6%)Neuroendocrine metastatic nodule1 (0.6%)Focal nodular hyperplasia1 (0.6%)4 more rows

Liver lesions are cell abnormalities within the liver. They are most frequently benign, but some can be cancerous. Liver lesions can be caused due to a variety of reasons. Most of the lesions don't cause any symptoms until they develop into larger masses.
Hepatic cysts are fluid-filled cavities in the liver generally asymptomatic and found incidentally on imaging studies. They can sometimes be associated with serious complications such as infection, hemorrhage, rupture, or compression of the biliary tree.

Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is a benign liver lesion that is composed of a proliferation of hyperplastic hepatocytes surrounding a central stellate scar. Typically, FNH is a solitary lesion that is more commonly seen in women.

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.

All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
