Introduction: Hypoplasia of right lobe of the liver with secondary ectopia of gall bladder is one of the rare morphological developmental anomalies of liver. Frequently, it is also associated with other hepatobiliary anomalies. Patients with such anomalies are more prone to surgical complications due to altered anatomical positions and are also at risk to develop cholecystitis, gall stones, and portal hypertension. The knowledge of such liver anomalies is important for radiologists to avoid surgical and medical pitfalls. Here, the authors report a rare case of hypoplasia of right lobe of liver in a 74-year-old female patient who had no clinical features of liver or biliary disease and with normal liver function test. It was incidentally detected in her Computed Tomography (CT) pulmonary angiogram and further confirmed in Ultrasound (US) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
