The clinical presentation of wandering liver is variable. Most of the reported cases were asymptomatic and are usually diagnosed while having investigation or surgery for other reasons, especially the commonly associated bowel problems. However, some patients may present with intermittent jaundice and abdominal pain secondary to the abnormal liver configuration. Due to the scarcity of the condition, the diagnosis can be challenging and improper concerns of permanent liver failure is possible. Hepatopexy is usually required for symptomatic patients with good results.
