Ectopic umbilical liver in conjunction with biliary atresia: uncommon association
1Department of Anatomic Pathology, Keimyung University School of Medicine, Taegu, Korea.
Abstract:
The case of a neonate with an ectopic liver in the umbilicus in conjunction with biliary atresia in the liver proper and an ectopic pancreas in the jejunum is reported. Following excision of the ectopic umbilical liver and Kasai type 1 hepatic portoenterostomy, bile fistula originating in the anterior inferior area of the right lobe of the liver was a complication, and it was successfully treated by construction of hepaticojejunostomy. No similar case has been reported in English language literature. It is of particular interest that the pathological features of the ectopic liver and the liver proper are quite similar.
