Text Extraction

A 62-year-old, rural female patient was referred after one week of nonspecific abdominal pain with spontaneous resolution and without other symptoms. The physical exam revealed a painless hepatomegaly without other abnormalities. Her only medical history was a surgical drainage of a liver abscess of hydatic origin 15 years ago in a rural hospital, without subsequent medical checks.
