Abstract
An 81-year-old Japanese woman visited our hospital because of abdominal discomfort. Physical examination revealed that she had an abdominal mass. A combination of ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and hepatic asialoglycoprotein scintigraphy was utilized to make a diagnosis. We found that she had a downward elongated hepatic lobe or Riedel's lobe which did not appear to be common in our district. The prevalence of Riedel's lobe in the Asian population has not been studied. Furthermore, this is the first report that describes the MRI and hepatic asialoglycoprotein scintigraphy features of Riedel's lobe of the liver.
