Shark Treat in the Porta
The cirrhotic liver has a small right lobe and a large left lobe as a compensation for reduced size and function of the right lobe. This gives the left lobe a snout like shape in contrast to the small triangular right lobe. This liver thus takes on a shark head like appearance and the structures (arteries vein nerves and ligaments entering the porta of the liver look like shark feed.
