Mumoli's sign

Mumoli's sign (also known as a "Playboy Rabbit" sign) is a sign seen in the liver. It appears as a rabbit-shaped image caused by the confluence of the middle and right hepatic veins at the inferior vena cava. It can be seen on ultrasound images of the normal liver with a transverse subcostal view in deep inspiration.

The image was named after Nicola Mumoli of the Department of Internal Medicine, Livorno Hospital, Livorno, Italy.^[1]
