Background: Abnormalities of liver are rarely reported. Even though they are present in society, most of them are asymptomatic and remain undetected. The morphological abnormalities of liver can cause diagnostic confusion for physicians, surgeons, radiologist and anatomists. A sound knowledge of the normal and variant liver anatomy is a prerequisite for a favorable surgical outcome. Eventhough the segmental anatomy of the liver has been a field of extensive research, there are very few studies regarding the surface variations of the liver.

Materials and Methods: Observational study on 60 cadaveric livers ranging from 40-60 years undertaken.

Results: 35 livers showed various types of morphological variations.

Conclusion: This study highlights patterns of variations in the lobes and fissures of the liver and useful for the radiologists and surgeons to ward off the possibility of misdiagnosis and also in planning surgical procedures related to Liver and Gallbladder.
