Objectives: To evaluate the different causes of Space Occupying Lesion (SOL) of liver and find out etiology of liver tumor among&#13;
patients of SOL of liver and also short term follow up of treatable condition.&#13;
Method: Observational study is done over 1 year on 40 patients aged above 12 years with SOL liver who has attended General&#13;
Medicine outdoor and/or indoor of NRS Medical College and Hospital. Longitudinal type of prospective study techniques have&#13;
been used to analyses data.&#13;
Results: The study shows that the highest percentage (27.5) of SOL seen in 51-60 years of age group and male were affected&#13;
more than females (70% and 30% respectively). Metastatic adeno carcinoma was the commonest cause of liver SOL (32.55) followed&#13;
by amoebic and pyogenic liver abscess (20% and 15% respectively). On 6 months follow up there was 83.33% complete&#13;
resolution of pyogenic abscesses and 37.5% complete resolution of amoebic liver abscesses.&#13;
Conclusion: Majority of liver SOL are metastatic adenocarcinoma. Next common SOL is amoebic liver abscess, followed by&#13;
pyogenic liver abscess. Majority of liver abscesses responded with antibiotics.&#13;
