A 71-year-old female was admitted to our hospital for further examination of upper abdominal mass. Laboratory tests revealed no abnormalities except slight elevation of s-GOT. Abdominal computed tomography and sonography showed the findings of hyper-trophic left lobe and missing the right lobe of the liver. The abdominal angiography revealed the absence of the right branch of the hepatic artery. The abdominal mass proved to be a hypertrophic left lobe of the liver at laparoscopy. No right lobe of the liver was observed. White capsular thickening and block formation were observed on the surface of the left lobe. Biopsy of the left lobe showed nonspecific inflammatory change and relatively normal architecture. We herein reported a rare case of agenesis of the right lobe of the liver.
