Abstract

The caudal lobe of liver is an independent sector astride the right and left liver regions. It is formed of two parts, right and left, distinguished exteriorly by the caudal and papillary processes, and can now be explored (ultrasound and CT imaging) allowing its surgical removal (tumoral lesion of the superior biliary confluent).
