“…In place of a small notch at the inferior border of liver for the Ligamentum Teres (LT), majority of them showed a deep fissure cutting across the inferior border and extending to a variable length on the anterior surface of liver. Joshi et al (2009) 5 showed the extension of this fissure for LT on the anterior surface in 80% cases, which is quite similar to our finding of 86.5% in the present study, whereas Nayak et al (2013) 7 reported its extension in only 1.81%. The lack of description of such an extension of the fissure for LT on the anterior surface of liver warrants its incorporation in the text books of human anatomy.…”

BACKGROUNDWith the advent of USG, CT and MRI it is easy to visualise and localise the pathologies of liver, which is of great help in surgical interventions like resection and transplantation procedures.Variations of fissures on the surfaces of liver in the Central Indian population have been observed in the present study, some of which are not in consonance with that described by other workers. In an era of segmental resections, transplantation and laparoscopic surgeries the findings of the present study can be of great significance.

“…17 These results shows higher frequency of occurrence of anomalies than our present study. Aristotle et al 18 reported the presence of morphological anomalies in 41% of the liver in their study and Nayak 11 reported it to be 40% in his study which is lower than the result obtained in the present study. Hepatic malformations are more common in the perinatal age group since most of the anomalies undergo reformation postnatally.…”

Morphological Variations in Human Liver: A Cadaveric Study

The variations of liver like the accessory fissures and lobes are a potential source of diagnostic errors. The knowledge in the variations may help in diagnosis, treatment planning and minimize the risk of post operative complications. The present study was aimed to observe the morphological variations of livers. The study was done in 70 formalin fixed human livers and was observed for morphological variations. The present study concluded the normal morphology of liver was in 54.28% and anomalies in 45.71% of liver. The most common anomalies were accessory fissures which were found in 32.86% of livers. The second common anomalies were absence or incomplete fissure for ligamentum teres in 15.71% of livers. Then the enlarged papillary process was found in 11.43%, short gall bladder was in 10% and elongated left lobe was in 7.14%. The knowledge of normal and variant liver may contribute to the understanding of the liver disease and to achieve correct preoperative diagnosis; and to avoid intra-operative complications.

“…Accessory lobes of the liver vary in size [7][8][9][10]. Accessory liver tissue is often connected to the main organ, although cases that are completely separate from the normal liver have been reported in the previous studies [7,11].…”

The liver is the largest of the abdominal viscera, occupying a substantial portion of the upper abdominal cavity. It occupies most of the right hypochondrium and epigastrium, and frequently extends into the left hypochondrium as far as the left lateral line. Many of its anomalies go unnoticed in life as it remains asymptomatic. The aim of our study is to find out the accessory caudate lobes of liver prevailing here and their importance. Present study was conducted by keen examination of 20 cadaveric livers obtained from the routine dissection of MBBS first year students in . Our observation shows out of 20 livers accessory lobe was found in one liver. The study is to add on the knowledge of this rare variation for the anatomists, surgeons and imaging specialists.
