Extrahepatic liver tissue (ELT) is a rare clinical finding. Few cases are described. The reported location is almost exclusively confined to the subdiaphragmatic region with the gallbladder being the most frequent localisation. This paper describes a unique case with not only two localisations of ectopic liver tissue, but also in anatomical regions where ELT has never been described before.
