Ectopic liver lobule with portal cirrhosis
Acta Chirurgica Scandinavica
|January 1, 1975
Abstract:
A patient who had an ectopic liver attached to the gallbladder is reported. Angiography, scintiscanning, and routine palpation at laparotomy did not reveal the ectopic liver. Advanced liver cirrhosis was found in autopsy and the same changes were seen in the ectopic liver. The embryology, localization, symptoms and incidence of ectopic liver lobules are discussed.
