ectopic liver, hepatocellular carcinoma, hccAbstract
Abnormal location of liver tissue or ectopic liver is a rare anomaly that is usually found on gallbladder, but as this tissue if functionally handicapped it is susceptible to hepatocarcinogenesis. In this article, we present data about case reports of ectopic liver published from 2004 to 2020, about the connection between hepatocellular carcinoma and ectopic liver, its location, and the reason for a visit to a medical professional.
