Hepatophrenic ligament

The Hepatophrenic ligament is a ligament connecting the liver to the diaphragm.

It is sometimes considered part of the lesser omentum. It is also sometimes considered part of the coronary ligament. [ [http://ect.downstate.edu/courseware/haonline/labs/L38/100203.htm Human Anatomy - Lab 38 Step 10 ] ] However, it is not a term used by most anatomy resources.
