Abstract
A twenty year old man is described who has a left-sided liver, a single right-sided spleen, an anomalous inferior vena cava with azygos continuation, and a morphologically normal left-sided heart. These findings emphasise the pitfalls in predicting cardiac abnormalities from other aberrations of anatomical situs.Keywords
