biopsy, CT thorax/abdomen
Chronic
leukemia
Suggested by: lymphadenopathy, non-tender
hepatomegaly
Confirmed by: abnormal CBC and blood film, bone
marrow examination
Cirrhosis ±
portal
hypertension

stigmata of chronic liver disease
Confirmed by: small nodular liver on ultrasound
± biopsy

CHAPTER 11 GI signs
266
Splenomegaly—massive (> 5 fingers)
The spleen enlarges diagonally downward toward the RLQ. Begin there
so as not to miss the edge of massive enlargement.
Some differential diagnoses and typical outline evidence
Chronic
myeloid
leukemia
Suggested by: variable hepatomegaly, bruising, anemia
Confirmed by: presence of Philadelphia chromosome,
BCR-ABL fusion mRNA or BCR-ABL protein
Myelofibrosis Suggested by: anemia, ± hepatomegaly,
± lymphadenopathy
Confirmed by: bone marrow tap is usually dry, bone
marrow biopsy shows fibrosis
Malaria Suggested by: anemia, jaundice, hepatomegaly,
paroxysmal rigors
Confirmed by: thick and thin blood films showing
Plasmodium
Kala-azar
(visceral
leishmaniasis)
Suggested by: pancytopenia, hepatomegaly
Confirmed by: demonstration of Leishmania donovani in
Giemsa-stained smears, specific serological test

BILATERAL MASSES IN UPPER ABDOMEN1
267
Bilateral masses in upper abdomen
The lower half of a normal right kidney is often palpable. A renal mass is
bimanually ballotable and moves slightly downward on inspiration.
Some differential diagnoses and typical outline evidence
Polycystic renal
disease
Suggested by: masses are bimanually ballotable,
hypertension
Confirmed by: ultrasound/CT kidneys
Amyloidosis,
primary or
secondary to
chronic
inflammation
Suggested by: evidence of underlying chronic infective
disease
Confirmed by: biopsy of kidney or rectal mucosa,
stained with Congo red dye
Bilateral
hydronephroses
Suggested by: masses bimanually ballotable, renal
impairment
Confirmed by: dilated ureters ± renal calyces on
abdominal ultrasound
