Overview

Liver mass may be differentiated according to clinical features, laboratory findings, imaging features, histological features, and genetic studies, from other diseases that cause abdominal pain, pruritus, low-grade fever, and ascities. Common differential diagnosis includes: liver abscess, simple liver cyst, and fungal infections.
