but yes, it may be palpated in someone with hepatomegaly.I have also palpated an ascending colon which was unfortunately cancerous.-Only the liver.......

So the organs that are in the RUQ are the liver, gallbladder, duodenum, and the head of the pancreas.

I know the liver's palpable, but what of the others?
