Abstract


The liver is the largest wedge-shaped gland in the human body. It is located in the upper right quadrant of abdomen, below the diaphragm, but a small portion extends into the upper left quadrant. Anatomically it is divided into right lobe and left lobes with its quadrate lobe and caudate lobe. But, in our routine dissections in our anatomy laboratory we have found with an abnormality the liver having an extra lobe besides the normal right lobe, left lobe, quadrate and caudate lobes. The extra lobe is located between the ligamentum teres and the normal quadrate lobe of the liver hence named as heteroclitic quadrate lobe of the liver.

Keywords


liver, quadrate lobe, caudate lobe, heteroclitic quadrate lobe, ligamentum teres
