case_images: Diagnostic imaging included an abdominal ultrasound revealing a large complex cystic lesion in the right lobe of the liver, measuring 14.39 cm x 6.55 cm (Figure 1).
case_images: CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis with intravenous (IV) contrast.. A 14 cm complex cystic lesion located within the right lobe of the liver, suggesting a high likelihood of being a giant liver abscess.
