Non‐Traumatic Diaphragmatic Hepatic Hernia: A Rare Case of Liver Herniation Into the Lung
ABSTRACT A 65‐year‐old female presented for abnormal CT for lung cancer screening showing bilateral lung nodules. The left nodule was confirmed as a left‐sided hernia through esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), but a CT‐guided biopsy of the right‐sided 2.3 cm nodule showed benign liver parenchyma. She...

| Summary: | ABSTRACT A 65‐year‐old female presented for abnormal CT for lung cancer screening showing bilateral lung nodules. The left nodule was confirmed as a left‐sided hernia through esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), but a CT‐guided biopsy of the right‐sided 2.3 cm nodule showed benign liver parenchyma. She underwent a liver/spleen scan confirming hepatic tissue in the right lower lobe which was contiguous with the liver. While hiatal hernias are common, a non‐traumatic diaphragmatic hepatic hernia into the lung is a rare clinical case that warrants discussion about diagnosis, causes and interventions. |
