Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Greetings from health care magic!!! I am Dr Thakker and shall be answering your question.

I have been through your clinical history. The following are the possibilities:

Gall bladder swelling, cholecystitis

Lipoma

Enlarged liver due to infection or malignancy

Soft tissue hematoma

Hydatid cyst of the liver

Benign cyst of the liver

Adenoma of the liver.

I would recommend you to have an ultrasound of the abdomen as the next step to know the exact origin

I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.

Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.
