Area of Science:

Hepatology
Radiology
Surgical Pathology

Background:

Benign hepatic malformations can present as abdominal masses, mimicking malignancy.
Accurate diagnosis is crucial to prevent unnecessary surgical procedures.

Observation:

Four patients presented with a hepatic anomaly consistent with corset liver.
Three patients underwent extensive evaluation for a suspected abdominal malignancy.

Findings:

Corset liver is a rare benign hepatic anomaly.
Specific diagnostic features can aid in identifying this condition.
Distinguishing corset liver from malignant masses is possible.

Implications:

Improved diagnostic criteria for corset liver can prevent unnecessary surgeries.
Enhanced awareness of rare hepatic malformations is important for clinicians.
Early and accurate diagnosis leads to better patient management and outcomes.
