Abstract

muscle tension resolved; lab tests normalized at 1 week. Three-month follow-up CT showed normal residual liver (no recurrence/ adhesions). Accessory liver lobe torsion (rare congenital liver issue, mostly pedunculated) from ligament deficiency/ surgical injury (trauma-triggered), has ischemic low-density mass; early surgery helps, good prognosis (1-3)
