A 38 year old woman with dull RUQ pain

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
4.) How will you evaluate this patient?

Evaluation of the patient:



  • Laboratory: CBC, liver function tests


  • Ultrasound and CT scan identify a hepatic lesion typical of adenoma with intratumoral and intraperitoneal bleeding


  • MRI will identify a hemangioma more clearly and thus rule out this diagnosis
