Posterior hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of the colon: ultrasonographic and computed tomographic appearance.
High posterior hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of the colon is an unusual normal variant that may mimic posterior hepatic lesions, posterior retroperitoneal masses, or a disrupted right diaphragm on sonography. The correct diagnosis of this entity may be suggested on plain abdominal films, and is made easily with computed tomography.
