Abstract:
142 patients underwent diagnostic ultrasonography. Out of these, 100 patients have liver tumor and 42 have liver abscess. The prevalence is higher in male than in female and higher in 20-60 years of old than in other age groups. Liver tumor and abscess are more likely to be seen in right lobe than in left lobe with size of 5-10cm (55.7%). For liver abscess, sound reduction is more common (25.03%), while for liver tumor, sound combination and mixes are common types.
