description This report describes a variation in blood vessels of the liver and abnormal entry of hepatic arteries into the liver found during routine dissection in an approximately 43-year-old male cadaver. An accessory hepatic artery arose from the superior mesenteric artery and entered the liver at the porta hepatis, whereas the proper hepatic artery was seen entering the left liver lobe at the fissure for ligamentum venosum. Clinical implications of such variation are discussed in the article.<br>Este relato descreve uma variação nos vasos hepáticos e uma entrada anormal de artérias hepáticas no fígado, encontradas durante uma dissecção de rotina em um cadáver masculino de aproximadamente 43 anos. Uma artéria hepática acessória surgiu da artéria mesentérica superior e entrou no fígado no porta hepatis, ao passo que se constatou que a artéria hepática própria entrava no lobo hepático na fissura do ligamento venoso. Implicações clínicas desta variação são discutidas neste artigo.
