In 13 (48%), the inferolateral portion of the right lobe was thinned or almost disappearing on the scan, without discernible transition from the right to the left lobe. These characteristics of the liver shape are distinct from those in Laennec type cirrhosis. None of the non-schistosomal liver patients in our series showed the inverted triangle configuration. The disfiguration of liver with one of these characteristics should arouse suspicion of schistosomal liver fibro
