Hepatoce Le

(From and a rupture).

Rupture of the liver. This complaint happens from the liver passing through the relaxed parietes of the abdomen, in the vicinity of the umbilicus, or through the umbilicus itself.

The species are distinguished by the situation of the tumour into hepatocele ventralis and umbilicalis. The mode of cure is similar to that of other ruptures, particularly the Gastrocele; q. v.
