Hepatic cysts: Hepatic cysts are a relatively common benign liver lesion, primarily caused by embryonic developmental disorders, Echinococcus granulosus infection, traumatic factors, inflammatory factors, tumor-related factors, among others, which can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain and abdominal masses.
2. Liver Abscess: A liver abscess is an infectious disease caused by pathogens invading the liver, primarily including bacterial infections, fungal infections, and Entamoeba histolytica infections. Patients may experience symptoms such as right upper abdominal pain and fever, and sometimes manifestations of liver function impairment may also occur.
