ReplyDeletepeace be upon all of you..the key is to go back to the history of the patient.. you may just give ur differential diagnosis based on your finding as long it is reasonable.. however, just for the sake of knowledge, i will share the discussion of that case.

the key here is trishaw driver= low socioeconomic status
spurious diarrhea= could arise from bowel, or infection causing diarrhea... from the ct scan, something weird pop out at liver... so think what conditionn associated between diarrhea and liver.
abdominal discomfort= a very generalized presentation..but again correlate with ct finding..
1)Hypodense at the right lobe of liver with heteroechogenicity

3) Amoebic liver abscess
4) FBC, LFT, UFEME, Stool C+S
