Agenesis of the Left Hepatic Lobe Accompanied by Esophagogastric Cancer: A Case Report and Literature Review

Agenesis of the left hepatic lobe is an exceedingly rare morphological anomaly. Moreover, agenesis of the left hepatic lobe accompanied by esophagogastric cancer is even rarer, with no reports to date. Agenesis of the hepatic lobe is commonly related to some anatomical variations of the gastrohepati...

description Agenesis of the left hepatic lobe is an exceedingly rare morphological anomaly. Moreover, agenesis of the left hepatic lobe accompanied by esophagogastric cancer is even rarer, with no reports to date. Agenesis of the hepatic lobe is commonly related to some anatomical variations of the gastrohepatic system. A 76-year-old man was referred to our hospital for surgery for esophagogastric cancer with short Barrett’s esophagus. Multiple preoperative imaging modalities revealed agenesis of the left hepatic lobe accompanied by esophagogastric cancer. Robotic proximal gastrectomy and transhiatal lower esophagectomy were performed. Intraoperative findings showed agenesis of the left hepatic lobe. The patient’s postoperative course was favorable. Today, 16 months after surgery, the patient is alive without recurrence of esophagogastric cancer. We report a case of agenesis of the left hepatic lobe in a patient undergoing robotic proximal gastrectomy and transhiatal lower esophagectomy for esophagogastric cancer. Preoperative comprehension of various visceral anomalies reduces the risk of surgical complications.
