ECTOPIC LIVER IN GALL BLADDER: A CASE REPORT
2015
Ectopic liver (EL) is a rare developmental anomaly in which the liver tissue is situated outside the liver and has no hepatic connection. The real incidence of EL attached to the gallbladder wall is difficult to assess but is reportedly 0.24-0.47% of the population though as with other sites, most of the cases of EL attached to the gallbladder are diagnosed at laparotomy, laparoscopy or during an autopsy. Hepatobiliary Imino- Diacetic Acid (HIDA) scan, besides ultrasonography and computerized tomography, may be helpful in diagnosis. Colour Doppler ultrasound or angiography
