the edge of the liver is palpable
debordare means to overflow or to flood; in this sense however it means that the edge of the liver (which in the normal case can NOT be felt in the upper abdomen) has become palpable - because the liver is slightly congested or enlarged.
I believe all the words used here "debordamente del margine del fegato" belong together for the target term to be understood.
The assai lieve part means that it is barely felt
So I would translate
"Assai lieve debordamento del margine epatico, che ha consistenza normale."
as follows:
The edge of the liver is just palpable and is of normal consistency.

debordare also means to extend past its (normal) limits, boundaries, edges - it is more used with regards to rivers overflowing or even for getting away from being on-board a ship ..... but even so the reference soon becomes clear!
