Abstract:
We describe a patient misinterpreted to have a lung mass on CT owing to extension of hepatic segments II and III between the diaphragm and spleen. This report underscores the importance of being aware of this normal anatomic variant and the utility of two-dimensional multiplanar reformation in interpretation of abnormalities in the region of the thoracoabdominal junction.
