We reported a patient with intrathoracic ectopic liver without diaphragmatic defect that was incidentally detected on chest radiography. Chest dynamic CT showed a subpleural mass abutting the diaphragm with isodense enhancement to liver tissue during arterial and delayed images, suggesting intrathoracic ectopic liver.
