Background: Diaphragmatic hernia of the liver is a rare clinical entity, usually found after trauma in adults. This study was undertaken to elucidate a misdiagnosis of non-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia of the liver in an adult.
Method: The clinical data of one patient with non-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia of the liver was analyzed.
Results: A tumor in the right lower thorax was revealed by chest X-ray and computed tomography. Non-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia of the liver was not identified until the operation. Pathological analysis confirmed the finding. The patient recovered well.
Conclusions: Non-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia of the liver in an adult is a rare right-sided diaphragmatic hernia, which can move up into the chest cavity. It should be distinguished from lung cancer. The diagnosis and evaluation of non-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia of the liver can help optimize surgical management.

Diaphragmatic hernia is an unusual finding, especially in emergency settings and in the absence of trauma. Imaging plays a crucial role, with various CT signs of diaphragmatic rupture having been described, including the "dangling diaphragm," "absent diaphragm," "collar sign," "hump sign," "fascia sign," and "dependent viscera sign". We report an unusual case of a 53-year-old woman who presented with exertional dyspnea and asthenia.

Background: To retrospectively investigate the developmental outcomes at 3 years of age in patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) using a multicenter collaborative research approach.
Methods: We evaluated patients with CDH and no other malformations born between 2010 and 2016 in seven facilities in the Japanese CDH Research Group. The developmental quotient (DQ) at 3 years of age was evaluated using the Kyoto Scale of Psychological Development 2001, the most standardized scale in Japan.
