ULTRASOUND Palpable right upper quadrant mass
Palpable right upper quadrant mass
A palpable right upper quadrant mass could be due to a renal,
hepatobiliary, bowel-related or other
cause. The sonographer should gently palpate to get an idea of
the size and position of the mass and
whether or not it is tender. Specifically targeting the
relevant area may yield useful and unexpected
results, for example a Reidel’s lobe, colonic carcinoma or
impacted faeces, which will help to guide
the
nature of further investigations.
