Abstract
Hepatic malrotation is an uncommon developmental anomaly in which the liver and its associated structures occupy an atypical orientation. We present a 46-year-old man with a rare combination of hepatic malrotation and diaphragmatic eventration, identified incidentally during evaluation for chronic abdominal pain. This case adds to the limited published literature, highlighting the challenges in detection and the implications for radiological interpretation and surgical planning. Recognition of this anomaly in adults is particularly important, as it is often overlooked or misinterpreted.
