Hepatomegaly. An approach to differential diagnosis.

Abstract

Hepatomegaly is not an uncommon occurrence in infancy and childhood. When the pediatrician encounters a patient with an enlarged liver, he must carefully evaluate that patient in order to determine the necessary approach to establishing a diagnosis. Specific emphasis must be made as to those conditions which necessitate hospital admission and complete evaluation and those self-limited conditions which may resolve with time.
