My 63-year-old mom has small cystic lesions in the caudate lobe of her liver. Do these always require surgery or can they be treated with medication? I'm worried about the next steps for her.

Small liver cysts, especially in the caudate lobe, are often asymptomatic and don't require treatment. They are typically benign, and only large or symptomatic cysts may need intervention. Surgery is not usually needed for small, simple cysts.
