Abstract :

The liver is the largest gland in our body which help to synthesizes protein, detoxifies metabolites, and produces biochemicals essential for digestion. The purpose of this study was to determine the morphological variation of formalin fixed human cadaveric liver. Total 48 human liver specimens were studied in detail for the accessory fissure, diaphragmatic grooves, pons hepatis, accessory lobe, elongated left lobe, notches in border etc. in the department of Anatomy, KD medical college Mathura, U.P India. The liver was observed grossly and photographs were taken. The data observed was displayed in tabulated form. we observed 27 (56.25%) normal liver, 4 (8.33%) liver with large left lobe, 03 (6.25%) liver with diaphragmatic grooves, 12 (25%) of liver indicate accessory fissure in lobe i.e. right, left, caudate and quadrate lobe, 04 (8.33%) liver with Pons hepatis connecting left lobe of liver with quadrate lobe, 03(6.25%) liver indicate accessory lobe and 02 (4.16%) liver showed larger papillary process. The present study provides knowledge about morphological variation in liver hence this study useful for anatomist, surgeon for surgery, clinicians, radiologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. It also helps to differentiate congenital or acquired abnormalities of the liver.
