Abstract

An accessory liver is uncommonly encountered in surgical practice. It can rarely cause acute abdominal pain. An isolated injury to an accessory liver from blunt trauma in a 10-year-old boy caused major intraperitoneal haemorrhage. Laparotomy and excision of the lacerated accessory liver lobe was necessary; the patient recovered uneventfully. The literature on accessory liver is reviewed.
