Laparoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment of a Twisted Accessory Liver Lobe
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accessory liver lobe (ALL) is a rare congenital abnormality characterized by the presence of hepatic tissue outside of, but attached to, the liver. ALL is usually asymptomatic, but in the case of torsion, it can be confused with an acute surgical emergency or a tumoral mass. Conventional imaging is often inconclusive, and diagnosis is generally made during laparotomy. We report the case of a patient with left ALL torsion who, for the first time, was successfully diagnosed and treated with a laparoscopic resection.

of the hepatic anlage (Fraser, 1952) or by further branching of the foregut diverticulum (Ashby, 1969). Accessory lobes may be attached to the liver by a pedicle of the liver tissue or by a mesentery (Johnstone, 1965). For the accessory lobe to be viable it should have the hepatic artery, hepatic vein, portal vein and bile duct, which usually communicate through the liver, but occasionally may ...

We describe a 48-year-old man with cholecystolithiasis whose preoperative magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) scan showed that the right accessory hepatic duct branching from the cystic duct dominated an anterior segment of the right hepatic lobe. We observed the right accessory hepatic duct using intraoperative cholangiography, and we were able to perform laparoscopic cholecyste...
