Fig. 5- Liver with sixteen lobes (after W. Moser, Med. Rec. 53:672, 1898). Max Brödel has redrawn the two pictures and placed them in such a relationship that the upper and lower surfaces can be easily compared. One should begin from the gallbladder to trace the relationship in this unusual picture. The suspensory ligament inthe upper part of the picture shows the dividing line between the right and left portions of the liver. g, gallbladder; s, suspensory ligament.
Fig. 6 - Accessory lobe of liver from a woman aged 40. Only the left half of the liver is shown. Attached to its extreme left and upper portion is an accessory lobe 17 lignes long and 10 lignes broad. It was connected with the liver by a mesentery containing the vessels. There was no trace of hepatic tissue in this mesentery. The portion of the liver near the accessory lobe was diminished in volume. a, accessory lobe; f, falciform ligament; II, left lobe; m, mesentery; r, round ligament; u, umbilicus.
Fig. 7 - Schematic representation of the abdominal viscera in their relation to Riedel's lobe and the adherent kinked colon. c, cecum; g, gallbladder;I, terminal ileum; L, liver; R, Reidel's lobe; S, stomach.
Fig. 8- Lobules of liver tissue connected with lower end of right lobe by a fibrous band. Hanging from the lower end of the fibrous band is an almost spherical piece of liver tissue; just above and to the outer side of it are two smaller and also rounded pieces of live tissue. The gallbladder stands out sharply; it projects will below the edge of the liver. F, fibrous band; G, gallbladder; L, liver, including nodules or lobules. (Redrawn by Max Brödel after C. Taruffi: Due rare alterazioni di fegato, Mem. della Accad. delle scienze dell instituto di Bologna, 1880, Serie 4, 1:167, Tab. 2, Fig. 1.)
