“…The incidence of Riedel's lobe of liver was 3.3 to 31% and more common in females. The potential complications of Riedel's lobe are rare and include torsion, mass effect morbidity and occasionally laparoscopic-associated difficulty in getting a proper Calot's triangle view during different surgical procedures [1]. Asymptomatic or uncomplicated Riedel's lobe usually does not need any special treatment.…”

A 46-year-old woman patient presented with a lump right hypochondrium with a diagnosis of calculus cholecystitis on ultrasound abdomen. During laparoscopy, a Riedel's lobe of liver was seen (Fig. 1). Riedel lobe is a tongue-like, inferior projection of the right lobe of the liver beyond the level of the most inferior costal cartilage, and it is an anatomical variant. It was reported in 1888 by a German Surgeon named Bernhard Moritz Carl Ludwig Riedel in seven lady patients who had palpable masses, and they were all confirmed by open surgical exploration. It is also referred as floating lobe, "tongue like", or constriction lobe. The incidence of Riedel's lobe of liver was 3.3 to 31% and more common in females. The potential complications of Riedel's lobe are rare and include torsion, mass effect morbidity and occasionally laparoscopic-associated difficulty in getting a proper Calot's triangle view during different surgical procedures [1]. Asymptomatic or uncomplicated Riedel's lobe usually does not need any special treatment. The only other reason for close follow-up of such cases is due to development of malignancy arising in Riedel's lobe, for example, hepatocellular carcinoma or metastatic lesion [2].

Riedel's lobe (ectopic lobe), also known as the accessory hepatic lobe, consists of an anatomical variation characterized by a tongue-shaped protrusion on the visceral surface of the liver right lobe, fixed by a pedicle. This variant draws attention in the clinical practice, as it can be mistaken for a tumor due to its elongated aspect. The aim of this research was to conduct a study on the anatomical characteristics and clinical and functional peculiarities of the accessory hepatic lobe. The paper is based on a integrative review and observational study on a cadaveric specimen. A cadaver with anatomical variation was used. Data were collected in PubMed, Scielo, and VHL. 257 articles were found in the databases, but only 13 were used for research. In careful review, two rare cases of the accessory lobe in the left lobe of the liver, hypoplastic left lobes, and agenesis of the right hepatic lobe, and often the clinical picture without changes in signs and symptoms were found. These morphological abnormalities' clinical impact is limited in the absence of underlying liver disease, cirrhosis, or known cancer. In case of complications or after the diagnosis of pedunculated tumors in the liver, laparoscopy is well indicated for removing these lobes or tumors.
