SANTIESTEBAN GARRIDO, Idania; MARRERO PILOTO, Conrado Vicente; HECHAVARRIA TOLEDO, Suiberto  e  SOSA PALACIOS, Oramis. Clinical epidemiological and ultrasonic characterization of patients with solid liver mass. MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.7, pp. 1060-1066. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive and cross sectional study was carried out in 87 patients diagnosed with solid liver mass, who were attended in the hospital of Farafenni, Gambia, from January to December 2008, in order to characterize them from clinical, epidemiological and ultrasonic points of view. Sociodemographic and clinical variates were analyzed. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered. Also, the percentage as summary measure was used. Male sex, age group of 45-59 years, viral hepatitis B as medical history, and abdominal pain as the most frequent clinical manifestation and multiple nodes and diffuse infiltration as ultrasonic findings prevailed in the series.

Palavras-chave : solid liver mass; epidemiology; ultrasound; hepatoma; secondary health care; Gambia.
