Abstract

Background: Liver is the largest gland and second largest organ in the human body. Anatomically, it consist of two lobes right and left seperated from each other by ligaments. Two additional lobes caudate and quadrate lobe are seen on the posterior and inferior surface of liver respectively. Aim: To observe and analyse the type and frequency of variations in liver morphology. Study Design: Observational study. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 80 liver specimens obtained during routine dissection of undergraduate students. Statistical analysis used: Descriptive statistics. Results and Conclusions: Out of 80 specimens, 56 specimens showed normal fissures and lobes. The rest of the 24 specimens showed morphological variations. The findings of the present study will be helpful for the radiologist, surgeons and anatomists.
