Hepatomegaly is enlargement of the liver . It is a non-specific medical sign , having many causes, which can broadly be broken down into infection , hepatic tumours , and metabolic disorder . Often, hepatomegaly presents as an abdominal mass . Depending on the cause, it may sometimes present along with jaundice .

22-437: A cirrhotic liver . Computerized tomography (CT) can give accurate anatomical information for a complete diagnosis. Treatment of hepatomegaly varies with the cause, so accurate diagnosis is the first concern. In auto-immune liver disease, prednisone and azathioprine may be used for treatment. In lymphoma the treatment options include single-agent (or multi-agent) chemotherapy and regional radiotherapy, and surgery

44-464: A thorough medical history and physical examination , wherein the latter typically includes an increased liver span . On abdominal ultrasonography , the liver can be measured by the maximum dimension on a sagittal plane view through the midclavicular line , which is normally up to 18 cm in adults. It is also possible to measure the cranio-caudal dimension , which is normally up to 15 cm in adults. This can be measured together with
55-838: Is a rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia with 50 to 80 percent of eosinophilic cells in the blood and marrow. It can arise de novo or may develop in patients having the chronic form of a hypereosinophilic syndrome . Patients with acute eosinophilic leukemia have a propensity for developing bronchospasm as well as symptoms of the acute coronary syndrome and/or heart failure due to eosinophilic myocarditis and eosinophil-based endomyocardial fibrosis . Hepatomegaly and splenomegaly are more common than in other variants of AML. A specific histochemical reaction, cyanide-resistant peroxidase, permits identification of leukemic blast cells with eosinophilic differentiation and diagnosis of acute eosinoblastic leukemia in some cases of AML with few identifiable eosinophils in blood or marrow. When there
66-601: Is eosinophilia with increased immature precursors along with blasts; one need to identify lineage of blasts. As per old FAB classification most of the time blast lineage will be myeloid and may fall in M4EO of FAB classification. This entity need treatment like acute myeloid leukemia. However more rarely Eosinophilic leukemia may have underlying lymphoid blasts with t(5;14) (IL3;IGH). with this gene fusion and eosinophilic cytokine comes under control of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus. This entity need treatment as ALL. Overall prognosis
77-701: Is not dependent on eosinophilia but underlying lineage and genetic abnormalities. This oncology article is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Hepatomegaly The patient may experience many symptoms, including weight loss, poor appetite , and lethargy ; jaundice and bruising may also be present. Among the causes of hepatomegaly are the following: The mechanism of hepatomegaly consists of vascular swelling, inflammation ( infectious in origin), and deposition of (1) non-hepatic cells or (2) increased cell contents (such as that due to iron in hemochromatosis or hemosiderosis and fat in fatty liver disease). Suspicion of hepatomegaly indicates
88-431: The ventro-dorsal dimension (or depth ), which is normally up to 13 cm. Also, the caudate lobe is enlarged in many diseases. In the axial plane , the caudate lobe should normally have a cross-section of less than 0.55 of the rest of the liver. Other ultrasound studies have suggested hepatomegaly as being defined as a longitudinal axis > 15.5 cm at the hepatic midline, or > 16.0 cm at
99-404: The midclavicular line . Blood tests should be done, especially liver-function tests , which give a good impression of the patient's broad metabolic picture. A complete blood test can help distinguish intrinsic liver disease from extrahepatic bile-duct obstruction . An ultrasound of the liver can reliably detect a dilated biliary-duct system, it can also detect the characteristics of
