I posted this on the main board and it disappeared so I'm trying again.  Word help is not what I'm looking for though.  I'm trying to find information on having a long liver....not an enlarged liver, but a long liver which I have been told can be a normal variant.  In searching google for abnormal, long, length, etc., I am not coming up with anything pertaining to a long liver.  I know it sounds weird.  It is not a common thing to have but some people do and I would like more information.  TIA.
