The experience of examination of 584 patients with volumetric masses of the liver (VML) of various origin is presented. For successful differential diagnosis of VML and definition of rational surgical policy the algorithm of examination was considered with due regard for diagnostic stages, each of them being characterized by definite complex of tests. It is thought necessary to begin examination with noninvasive and highly informative tests. Complex of radioimmunologic evaluation of tumor markers level is advisable to include in diagnostic algorithm of patients with VML. The use of invasive methods of diagnostics is justified in complicated diagnostic situation. For evaluation of regional function of the liver radionuclear examination should be used. Liver puncture are feasible only whenever parasitic nature of cystic masses of the liver is excluded. If it is found to be impossible to determine the character of VML the question of advisability of diagnosis laparotomy should be resolved in its favour. The most efficient use of various methods of examination in 584 patients with VML of various genesis made it possible to increase accuracy of diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma, in nonparasitic cysts--1.7 times and in parasitic cysts--1.2 times.
