A Rare Case of Ectopic Liver Presenting as an Intraperitoneal Mass: A Case Report and a Concise Case Review

Abstract Introduction/Objective Ectopic liver is a rare developmental abnormality, in which tissue localized outside the normal and has no connection to native liver. The presence of ectopic been reported most commonly gall bladder. Intrathoracic cavity, kidney, abdominal wall, esophagus are other sites where it identified. But its intraperitoneal rarely previously. We report such case young female. Methods/Case Report A 27-year-old female presented with shortness breath was diagnosed have pulmonary embolism. On imaging, she incidentally found well circumscribed 4.4 x 4.8 cm enhancing mass left sub- diaphragmatic region wedged between splenic hilum greater curvature stomach. Based on imaging diagnosis accessory spleen considered. She underwent nuclear medicine scan that not consistent spleen. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy identified showed abutment mucosa Cytology polygonal benign cells were non-diagnostic. robotic laparoscopic-assisted excision performed, identifying abutting, but adherent, spleen, pancreas Histopathological examination revealed several portal triads. Immunohistochemical staining positivity for Hepar 1 arginase; reticulin stain; together supporting be hepatic lesion. This finally as Results (if Case Study enter NA) NA. Conclusion condition, an incidence 0.24%-0.47%.
