[...]of the multiple comorbidities in this patient, it was elected to manage his hernia conservatively. [...]the central portion of the liver herniated through the rectus sheath; however, this patient died shortly after this finding secondary to infection.2 The third reported case involved incarceration of the left he- patic lobe in an incisional hernia.3 Other cases reported with herniation of the liver include an intercostal hernia4 and a lumbar hernia.
