Ectopic Fetal Hepatic Tissue in the Placenta

In this report, we summarize the previous literature regarding intraplacental ectopic liver, and we propose a sensitive approach to suspected ectopic liver of the placenta that may be sufficient to capture both the fetal and mature hepatocyte immunophenotypes. This approach may extend to other related pathologies including assessment of suspected intraumbilical hepatocytes.
