Core Tip |
Ectopic liver presents a rare clinical finding resulting from liver tissue migration to various organs during embryogenesis. Although the condition is typically asymptomatic, it can lead to different clinical manifestations such as intraabdominal bleeding or hepatocarcinogenesis. The potential malignancy risk is the basis for radical surgical removal; which represents the only correct solution. Therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma in an ectopic liver follows the same guidelines (National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines) as those followed for treating the "mother" liver. Despite the low incidence of ectopic liver and rare complications, it is necessary to maintain an awareness of this possibility. |
