Liver Size: "By percussion, the mean liver size is 7 cm for women and 10.5 cm for men (Table 94.1). A liver span 2 to 3 cm larger or smaller than these values is considered abnormal. The liver weighs 1200 to 1400 g in the adult woman and 1400 to 1500 g in the adult man." REF: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK421/

It depends in some: respects on the size and sex of the patient, and the anatomic configuration of the liver itself, but in general the upper normal limit of liver length as measured on CT or US is about 17cm
