Medicolegal autopsy on the dead body of an elderly female revealed
that the liver was having some unusual shape. The left lobe of
liver was bifid, having dumb bell type morphology. Also there were
some furrows which were observed over the anterior surface of the
liver. This type of morphological variant has not been reported hitherto.
The clinicians should be aware of developmental morphological
anomalies like in this case, as they might cause confusion during the
procedures like biopsy, transplantation and lobectomies. We believe
that this case report is important for the clinicians who are involved
in the diagnosis and management of hepatic diseases. The knowledge
is also enlightening for morphologists and embryologists. Clin Ter
