Abstract

Hepatic heria in adult without history of trauma or surgery is rare, and is sometimes operated under the diagnosis of lung or diaphragmatic tumor. Here, we report a case of hepatic hernia which had been preoperatively suspected of pleural tumor and surgically treated. At surgery, multiple lesions mimicking ectopic endometriosis were found on the diaphragma and hepatic profrusion was found from one of lesions.
