Background: Liver is a common site for Space occupying lesions. It is difficult to distinguish these entities with imaging criteria alone. Development in liver surgery and liver pathology have led to many new types of primary hepatic space-occupying lesions (PHSOLS) being surgically resected and pathologically diagnosed, which has greatly increased the surgicopathological spectrum of PHSOLS.
Methods: A 2-year tertiary care teaching hospital based longitudinal study with 77 participants was done. Selection criteria was defined and a prestructured proforma was made to assess and note the findings.
Results: The mean age of occurrence of space occupying lesions of liver was 45.49±13.45 years with a range of 24 to 70 years. Space occupying lesions of liver was commonly observed in 4th Decade of life. 64.93% pathology of Space Occupying Lesions of Liver occur in males. 76.62% patients of space occupying lesions of liver present with pain in right upper quadrant.
Conclusions: Majority of space occupying lesions were surgically managed with a short-term follow-up of 1 month in which no complications were noted.Metrics
