Abstract

Gross malformations of the liver can result in mass effects or focal defects that can resemble tumors or hepatic changes induced by tumors. Accessory liver lobes characterized by solitary or multiple parts of liver substance connected to the main liver by a bridge or stalk can mimic a pedunculated liver tumor. One well-known example is Riedel’s lobe, an inferior, tongue-like projection of the anterior border of the right liver lobe. Several anomalies of the caudate lobe of the liver can also resemble tumorous growths. A similar effect can be produced by subdiaphragmatic and supradiaphragmatic ectopias of the liver.
