ABSTRACT=<p>The accessory hepatic lobe (AHL) is a rare congenital malformation of the hepatic tissue, among which the giant AHL is the rarest in children. Patients without complications are usually asymptomatic, and most auxiliary examinations cannot provide a definitive preoperative diagnosis. Surgical procedure is the only recommended management for patients who suffered from the complications of AHL. We report the case of a rare pediatric giant AHL torsion combined with left hepatic vein branch thrombosis which was successfully treated by laparoscopic lobectomy followed by excision of AHL.</p>
