A healthy 42-year-old man presented to the hospital because of chest radiography performed during a medical checkup revealed a tumor. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a tumor of 5 cm diameter just above the right diaphragm with blood flow from the portal vein. The patient was diagnosed with accessory liver lobe (ALL). No finding suggested malignancy, and he is being followed up. ALLs are usually found in the abdominal cavity, but they can also be found in the thoracic cavity. Although ALL is rare, it should be considered in patients presenting with intrathoracic tumors.
一名42岁健康男性因体检时胸部X线检查发现肿瘤而入院。增强计算机断层扫描显示右膈上方有一个直径5厘米的肿瘤,有门静脉血流。该患者被诊断为副肝叶(ALL)。未发现恶性迹象,目前正在对其进行随访。ALL通常见于腹腔,但也可在胸腔发现。尽管ALL很罕见,但对于出现胸腔内肿瘤的患者应考虑到这种情况。
