摘　　要：Objective: To report a case of beaver tail liver accidentally discovered by preoperative examination, and review relevant literature to improve the understanding of the anatomical variation of the liver. Methods: Analysis of a case of beaver tail liver incidentally discovered during preoperative examination for hepatic abscess in our hospital in June 2023. Combining domestic and foreign literature, the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of beaver tail liver are discussed. Results: The patient was admitted due to abdominal pain and fever, with no other specific discomfort. An incidental finding of a beaver tail liver was discovered during imaging examinations. Conclusion: The beaver tail liver is a variant in hepatic anatomical morphology with nonspecific clinical manifestations. It is often incidentally discovered through imaging examinations such as ultrasound, CT, or MRI. Treatment is only necessary when the beaver tail liver is associated with hepatitis or tumors;otherwise, it does not require specific treatment.Objective: To report a case of beaver tail liver accidentally discovered by preoperative examination, and review relevant literature to improve the understanding of the anatomical variation of the liver.
