Observation– Liver is the largest of abdominal viscera located in right hypochondrium, epigastrium and left hypochondrium in upper abdominal cavity. Different variations in lobes, fissures and accessory lobes, decrease in size of lobes, lobar atrophy, ligamentum teres, ligamentum falciform and any other variations as grooves on the surface of the livers were observed Materials and Methods: Present morphological study was conducted on 75 formalin–fixed livers which were observed for the study in the Department of Anatomy Results: Total 75 cadaveric livers were studied. Out of which 31 (41.4%) livers were normal and 44 (58.6%) were abnormal. Out of 44, Absence of quadrate lobe 3 (6.8%)Accessory fissure in caudate lobe 6 (13.6%),Accessory fissure in quadrate lobe 4 (9%),Accessory lobes 9 (20.4%),Incomplete fissure for ligamentum teres 4( 9%),Absence for fossa for gallbladder 2(4.5%) small left lobe 2(4.5%),elongated upward left lobe in 4 (9%),absence of fissure for ligamentum teres 2(4.5%) and incomplete prominent caudate process in 2(4.5%) and deep diaphragmatic groove were observed in 6(9%). Conclusion: this study will be helpful for surgeons and radiologists to avoid possible errors in interpretations and subsequent misdiagnosis, and to assist in planning appropriate surgical approaches in liver transplants and other procedures.
