Abstract

We report a rare variant in mesenteric arterial anatomy: replacement of the right hepatic and common hepatic arteries to the SMA in a patient treated for hepatocellular carcinoma. The potential clinical implications of this unusual variation of celiaco-mesenteric anatomy will be discussed.
