Resumen
Congenital anomalies of the liver are infrequet. Agenesis of the left hepatic lobe is uncommon and was defined as the abscence of the liver on the left side, without previous disease or surgery. This condition is usually asymptomatic and may be an incidental finding during imaging test or abdominal surgery. We present the case of a 46-year-old woman, with no past history of related symptoms, who was admited for abdominal disconfort. Imaging studies revealed the absence of left hepatic lobe associated with liver hydatidosis and gallblader stones. Open total pericystectomies and cholecystectomy was carried out and diagnosis of the agenesis of left hepatic lobe accompained by two hydatadic cysts and gallbladder stones was confirmed. We discuss the etipatogenia, diagnostics methods and review the literature to date of this pathology We believe that this is the first reported case of agenesis of the left hepatic lobe associated with liver hydatidosis and gallblader stones.
