Background: In modern era of surgical advances, liver transplantations play an important role in enhancing the quality of life. Liver transplantations are now performed in many tertiary centers in our country. However in Indian population, very few studies exist regarding variations in the external architecture of liver. Aims and Objectives: To categorize the variations of external architecture of liver Materials and Methods: About 175 formalin fixed liver were utilized for the study. During routine dissection, liver was observed for architectural changes; variations in the size and shape of lobes, accessory lobes, unusual fissures, and unusual nodulated appearances were noted. Result: Varied shapes of both right and left lobes of liver were observed which included hypoplasia of left lobe, bifid caudate__ampersandsignnbsp;process, caudate lobe with papillary process , right lobe showing deep fissures, variations in the shape of Quadrate lobe, and the exit of ligamentum teres, segmented right lobe, hardened impression of ribcage on anterosuperior and lateral surfaces. Conclusion: A thorough knowledge of the architectural variations of the liver will help the surgeons while planning for surgery.
