Liver is largest gland of body. It is situated in under the right dome of the diaphragm and mainly occupies the right hypochondriac and epigastric regions. There are wide variety of variation in size and number of lobes. Its important to know these anatomical facts and variations regarding liver as they are of utmost importance to hepatobiliary surgeons. This is retrospective observational study done on 75 human livers irrespective of age and sex in Department of anatomy, Smt.B.K.Shah Medical Institute and Research Center, Vadodara, Gujarat. The livers were studied for various measurements like length and width of quadrate lobe, length of fissure for ligamentum teres, legth of fissure for ligamentum venosum, Width of Gall bladder fossa, Depth of Gall bladder fossa, various shape of quadrate lobe, presence of oblique fissure tongue like projection on quadrate lobe, accessory lobe lobe and type of fissure seen on quadrate lobe. We found in 42% specimens shape of quadrate lobe was quadrangular followed by irregular in 20, Square in 16% , triangular in 16%, rectangular in 4% specimens. Incidence of fissure on surface of quadrate lobe was 37.33%. A well demarked tongue like projection on quadrate lobe present in 36% specimens. In 20% specimens the quadrate lobe was completely absent. The presence of knowing shape, size and fissure of quadrate lobe, accessory lobe and absence of quadrate lobe lies in the fact that might help to interpretation during imaging of hepatobilliary system and may intern lead to surgical implication in operation theater.
