Abstract:
A case of symptomatic accessory lobe of the liver occurred in a 15-year-old Japanese girl with hyperthyroidism. The patient presented with acute abdominal distress; at operation, a twisted necrotic mass of the accessory lobe of the liver was found. A review of the literature failed to show a previously reported instance in a child.
