[A rare malformation of the liver in adults].

Abstract

The described malformation of the liver can be divided into several different findings: the deficiency of the left part of the lig. triangulare, a shift of the enlarged left liver lobe to ventral right into the right hypochondrium with a bending of the liver, hypoplasia of the right liver lobe with a field of connective tissue in the bending angle of the liver and concomitant torsion of the lig. hepatoduodenale. The deficiency of the left part of the lig. triangulare hepatis is considered the pathogenetic origin of the malformation. The development of all the other malformations is discussed according to ontogenetic considerations.
