Abstract
The aim of study is to report a new anatomical variant of human liver and associated clinical significance. During routine dissection of abdomen, a liver of 55 year aged male cadaver was found to have multiple anomalies. Measurements of shape and size of these anomalies were taken.The caudate lobe was uncommonly duplicated by a angular fissure of length 2.5 cm and an oblique fissure of length 2 cm on this lobe placed inferiorly was also observed in this specimen. There was vertical furrow of length 6 cm and depth 2 mm on the right lateral surface of liver besides above malformations. The left lobe of liver was hypoplastic. These are new variants in the normal morphology of liver.These anomalies are of paramount importance to clinicians involved in the diagnosis and management of hepatic diseases, anatomists and morphologists for variant morphology, embryologists for new developmental defect and radiologists for misinterpretation of images of liver.
