Hi.Thanks for your query for a 73 year old female patient with 10 cm Hepatomegaly without jaundice and lymphadenopathy.
Oral ulcers is the only other finding.
I would advise you to get MRCP / CT scan of the abdomen to see whthere there is a hydatid cyst or so
Once confirmed, you need to undergo the blood, urine and stool tests and plan for the further management .
