Intrapulmonary ectopic liver.
A case of intrapulmonary ectopic liver in a patient who had undergone right-sided diaphragmatic hernia is described. The intrapulmonary ectopic liver was found incidentally in chest x-ray at the age of 6 years. The final diagnosis was established at thoracotomy. Fewer than 10 cases of intrathoracic ectopic liver have been reported previously, but an intrapulmonary ectopic liver like the present case has not been described previously.
