Riedel lobe of the liver is a simple anatomical variation, a downward tongue-like
projection of the anterior edge of the right lobe of the liver to the right of
the gallbladder with its typical case to be rare.We report the case of a
71-year-old woman with typical feature of a nonpalpable Riedel's lobe of the
liver, as an incidental finding who was referred for reported
hypergammaglobulinemia (22.7% [9%-19%]). Both features were attributed to a
chronic inflammation because of an abscess in the right iliopsoas caused by
infection due to bilateral hip replacement which underwent revision surgery. This
was confirmed by her medical history, the imaging findings combined with elevated
C-reactive protein, and by cross-reaction weak positive autoantibodies.Generally,
knowledge or suspicion of Riedel's lobe of the liver is important, as it does not
always remain clinically latent, as in our case, and it can be complicated by its
torsion or hepatic tumors.
