Hello

Enlarged liver(hepatomegaly) may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,fatty liver,tumour etc.
Hepatomegaly is most likely related to mass(SOL) in your mother's case.

SOL may be due to many reasons.It be due to both benign or malignant reasons.
She may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,renal function test,viral markers,contrast CT scan of abdomen.

Contrast CT scan is most important and it is very helpful in diagnosis and extent of lesion.
FNAC/Biopsy can be done if needed.

Treatment depend upon findings.

Take Care
