Agenesis of Right Lobe of Liver: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Agenesis of the right lobe of the liver is a rare condition defined as the absence of liver tissue on the right side with preservation of the middle hepatic vein in the absence of previous disease or surgery. Agenesis of the right hepatic lobe is a rare congenital defect that is discovered by chance during a radiologic test. We discuss a case of a 22-year-old woman who presented with abdominal distension and was suspected of having liver cirrhosis. She was evaluated, and imaging investigations indicated the absence of the right lobe of the liver. Agenesis of right lobe of liver is an extremely rare congenital anomaly.
