Core Tip	Surface depressions of the liver are a recognized anatomic variant Transillumination is a method that is useful to evaluate the association with hypertrophic muscular bands in the diaphragm. Using this technique, we determined that hypertrophic bands are associated with surface depressions in 67% of cases. Diaphragmatic muscular bands play a prominent role in the formation of surface depressions.
