I have an enlarged ovary with a mass attached to it that has both liquid and solid components. I also found out today that I have an enlarged liver, extending "well below my right kidney." I'm wondering if there's any way that they could be related?

The two could be related, but are probably not. This is a complex situation and needs to be discussed with your doctor with the appropriate testing performed. Not easily addressed in this format.

The list of things that can result in an enlarged ovary or enlarged liver (or the combination of the two at the same time) is quite extensive. This list includes benign tumors, malignant tumors, infection, liver function problems, etc. It would be very hard to even narrow the list without specific information such as 1) findings on the scan (if that is how you find out), 2) personal history of medical and surgical issues, 3) and medication and lifestyle history. As mentioned in prior answers, you should review the scan with a gynecologist and/or radiologist, and also seek a referral to a liver specialist (hepatologist) if your liver is truly involved. Hope this helps!

The two may be related. You did not state how you found out this information, was it from an ultrasound, CT scan or MRI ? Did the liver otherwise appear normal or were there tumors on the liver. I would recommend that you contact an OB/Gyn or Gyn doctor to go over the study or studies with the radiologist who read them so a plan can be made to further work up your ovarian pathology and possible liver pathology. Good luck

It is possible that the liver has enlarged from an obstruction which could be due to the mass on your ovary. You could have "fatty liver" or another liver disease, do you have PCOS? This could however be a normal variant. Also seen in really tall thin people, liver just extends lower.
Not enough info. I agree with he other doctors. We would need a lot more info to answer appropriately. What is clear is that the ovary should be addressed by your Gyne. The liver could five addressed further at that time. The work up of the liver may depend on the diagnosis of the ovarian mass. Hopefully this is just a cyst given your history but do not assume. Get checked out.
Your physician will help determine if the two conditions are related and outline the proper course of action.
