A 67-year-old man presented with dyspepsia for 4 months. Physical examination revealed a large nontender mass in the right upper quadrant of abdomen. Blood pressure was 120/80 mmHg. Laboratory investigations were notable for elevation of serum creatinine 2.1 mg/dL (normal 0.6-1.6 mg/dL). Urinalysis was normal. Blood leucocyte count was 6.3x103 /dL with 53% neutrophils, 38% lymphocytes, and 6% monocytes. Liver function test showed reverse albumin and globulin ratio (albumin 2.6 and globulin 5.1 g/dL). Abdominal computed tomography (CT) was performed.
