Unveiling the Beaver Tail Liver: A Hepatic Variant with Diagnostic Significance
A 26-year-old woman presented to the Outpatient Department (OPD) with the complaints of persistent fatigue, progressive dyspnoea on exertion, generalised weakness, and recent worsening of vision. She had a known history of dimorphic anaemia {Haemoglobin (Hb) 10.3 gm/dL} and poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus {Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) - 7.3}. On physical examination, she appeared pale, with bilateral pedal oedema and mild hepatomegaly. Her random blood glucose was markedly elevated, and fundoscopic examination revealed early signs of diabetic retinopathy.
