Liver may present with a variety of congenital anomalies including agenesis of lobes, deformed lobes, lobar hypotrophy, presence of accessory lobes and fissures (riedel's lobe) or absence of its segments. During an ongoing project on liver anomalies in the Department of Anatomy, King George's Medical University, UP, Lucknow, 40 specimens of embalmed liver were observed of which one of the specimens displayed a rare surface variation. A bridge composed of liver tissue was extending between quadrate lobe and left lobe of the liver. The bridge was covering fissure for ligamentumteres in such a manner that the fissure was converted into a tunnel for ligamentum teres. The knowledge of such a variation can be utilized by pathologist to identify a stromal tumor or gangrene of ligamentum teres.
