Normal morphometric parameters of liver in human fetus were studied at various stage of development with an aim to get insight into the normal development of fetal liver.Material & Methods: Dissection of 29 human fetuses was performed. Anthropometric study was done and various parameters were measured.Results: The development of liver is associated with increase in all the parameters although the increase is highly variable in different gestational age, indicating that liver development showed characteristic but highly regulated development to reach its fully developed stage.Conclusion: The present study will be helpful in understanding the normal fetal liver development.
