Does liver ultrasound show dangerous hypoechoic mass?

Question
Hello doctor,
I did an ultrasound of the liver and the sonographer recorded a hypoechoic mass of 6.2×4.2 cm. Final conclusion: follow-up right liver benign tumor. I asked the sonographer why it can be concluded that the tumor is benign, the doctor said based on the identification. Blood tests showed grade 1 fatty liver, slightly elevated liver enzymes. I have no signs of jaundice, yellow eyes, eating is still good. Please ask the liver ultrasound doctor if there is a dangerous hypoechoic mass? I thank you very much.
