The ultrasonic echography equipment traditionally used in medical examinations is prohibitively expensive and too large to be used by health care and beauty facilities or in the home. Urologic examination, including echography and prostate-specific antigen, showed no abnormalities except a prostatic adenoma (preexisting and known to the patient). Physical examination and abdominal echography showed hepatomegaly and a huge abscess (12 cm x 10 cm x 8 cm) over the right lobe of the liver. |
