Ectopic liver is hepatic tissue that histologically resembles the mother tissue but is located at a site away from its usual location. Initially thought to be a rare anatomical anomaly of no clinical significance, it is now increasingly recognised to be capable of causing clinically relevant pathology. More specifically, it has been associated with a higher incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma, cholelithiasis and cholecystitis. Here, we report a case of ectopic liver encountered incidentally during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
异位肝是指组织学上与母组织相似但位于远离其正常位置的肝组织。最初认为它是一种罕见的无临床意义的解剖异常，现在越来越认识到它能够引起具有临床相关性的病理改变。更具体地说，它与肝细胞癌、胆结石和胆囊炎的较高发病率有关。在此，我们报告一例在腹腔镜胆囊切除术中偶然发现的异位肝病例。
