Background:
Abnormalities of liver morphology are rare, divided into two categories: those resulting from overgrowth of liver tissue, such as the Riedel lobe and other accessory lobes, and those with poor liver development include agenesis, hypoplasia and aplasia of the hepatic lobes.
Presentation of the case
57-year-old man, subjected to laparoscopic programmed inguinal surgery, finding liver hypoplasia.
