Accessory lobe of the liver mimicking a mass in the left adrenal gland

Abstract

An accessory lobe of the liver is a rare anomaly which we have diagnosed in a patient by CT. The lesion appeared as a soft-tissue-density mass with the same density as the liver and attached to the liver. Radionuclide liver scintigraphy helped to confirm the diagnosis. The object of this report is to draw attention to this rare entity since it can cause diagnostic confusion.
