Hi! Thank you very much for all cases that you share with us!
Can you explain, why you think that the liver is enlarged?
Greetings from Bulgaria!
Although the liver doesn’t extend beyond the costal arch, the stomach is focally deviated caudally. This means that there is a focal liver enlargement from a mass lesion rather than generalized liver enlargement. It’s a subtle finding but can be important!
Thanks for the very good explanation!
In your opinion, would treatment have been a viable option? What percentage success rate would you give?
Although surgery is an option, I believe the chances of success would decrease with the presence of septic peritonitis.
