Hello ,
Thank you for your question ! Enlarged liver ina 3 years old is very suggestive of congenital ( born with ) cyst . It would be pretty uncommon for a liver dissease to develop that early in time .liver carcinoma is also rare in kids . Ct scan would diagnose what is the cause for the enlargement . Spidelian hernia is a ventral herniation bellow the belly button . Me myself can not see a reason for the liver enlargement to be caused by the herniation . If you were my patient i would suggest you to visit a doctor and undergo some tests to understand the reason for the enlaregemt .
Best reggards !
