Diaphragmatic Fissure of Liver- A Case Report.

We report a case of Diaphragmatic ssure on anterior surface of right lobe of liver seen in an adult male cadaver during routine dissection. The ssure is vertically extending in the middle of the anterior surface of right lobe and extends till the inferior border. Length of the ssure is 9 cm and depth is 1.2 cm. Pons hepatis with 13mm length also seen in the same liver. Incidence of Accessory ssures of liver is 25% and frequency increases from 7th decade. 15%of the cadaveric livers may show accessory ssures. The knowledge of the diaphragmatic ssures may be utilized by Anatomists, Surgeons, Forensic specialists and Radiologists to avoid misdiagnosis and complications. When peritoneally disseminated tumor cells implant in such ssures, it may mimic intrahepatic lesions.
