(subcostal) plane / view
Incidental findings: suspected hepatic cyst as shown in the subcostal plane / view
This has to do with incidental findings. See Susanne's reference below.
What is an incidental finding?
An incidental finding is something extra found by the test. It is something not related to the reason your doctor ordered the test.

The subcostal plane is a transverse plane which bisects the body at the level of the 10th costal margin and the vertebra body L3
https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Subcostal_plane
transthoracic echocardiogram did not reveal any pathological findings, however the subcostal view demonstrated a large, simple hepatic cyst

As I understand, the liver/hepatic cyst was found incidentally in the subcostal plane/view of the transthoracic echocardiogram.
Transthoracic echocardiogram
Evaluation of the heart with echocardiography requires having "acoustic windows" of the heart. Bone reflects the ultrasound waves and so all structures directly behind bone are not visible with ultrasound. This requires that the heart be viewed between bones and, in particular, between ribs. The most common views are the parasternal, apical, subcostal, and suprasternal windows.

: This looks being pertinent. Plane/View is more appropriate than section or even cut as this may be confused with cutting by knive or scalpel.

touching/protruding from
Assuming the context of looking at an echocardiogram behind the heart and viewing the subcostal hepatic cyst.
Example sentence:
"hepatic cyst protruding from/touching the subcostal region"
From the reference: "Subcostal echocardiographic image to demonstrate the hepatic cyst touching the right atrium"

subcostal sections (of a hepatic cyst) // subcostal view of a hepatic cyst
would be my suggestion

: w/ subcostal view, and "liver cyst" more common than hepatic cyst
