title: Hepatobiliary study. Left hepatic lobe herniation into the thorax.
abstract: After a motor vehicle accident, an 18-year-old woman reported cough and dyspnea. A chest radiograph revealed an intrathoracic mass blending with the cardiac shadow. Hepatobiliary imaging showed that this was due to herniation of the left hepatic lobe and a portion of the right lobe and gallbladder into the right hemithorax.
