19 hrs confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1 accessory liver fissures, accessory sulcus of the liver, cough furrows, corset liver, ribbed liver
Explanation:
Besides Andres' suggestion "Zahn's grooves", various other terms are available, with most papers on this phenomenon published by non-natives (including the French Swiss Mr Zahn).
Covanțev S, Mazuruc N, Catereniuc I, Belic O. Accessory liver fissures: a report of two cases and review of their clinical significance. Russian Open Medical Journal 2018; 7: e0303.
The first description of ALF is probably attributed to Zahn in 1882. The so-called “Zahn grooves” can be found on the diaphragmatic liver surface and predominantly on the right liver lobe. This condition was explained by anatomical variability and the effects of pressure of the ribs and/or the diaphragm muscle [2]. Chronic lung conditions (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary tuberculosis etc.) with cough as the predominant symptom could explain diaphragm hypertrophy, which leads us to another name for this condition - “Cough furrows” [3]. Later, it was demonstrated, that these fissures are encountered frequently, so they do not represent a rare finding [4]. Another condition from the previous era that can cause ALF is prolonged wearing of a corset – “Corset liver” or “Ribbed liver” [5].

G.D. Yadav, P. Deka. Accessory sulcus of the liver – an incidental laparotomy finding. Indian J. Surg. (April 2008) 70:92–93
The diaphragmatic surface of the liver is
normally smooth but may be grooved occasionally. Such
grooves could be ‘cough furrows’ or due to a ‘corset liver’.
Accessory sulci have also been described and may confuse
the inexperienced surgeon. We describe one such case of an
accessory sulcus found incidentally at laparotomy.

22 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 Zahn´s grooves (peer atrophy) / Zahn infarct
Explanation:
In full agreement with @Anne Schulz´s peer comment as to "most papers on this phenomenon published by non-natives":

Zahn's Grooves
These are deep grooves (pressure atrophy) of the upper liver surface, predominantly of the right liver lobe. They are caused by pressure of hypertrophied diaphragmatic muscle bundles, predominantly in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, on the liver parenchyma. Zahn's grooves are found in approximately 10% of all autopsies.

12 jun. 2013 - In humans, Zahn’s grooves are deep grooves on the upper liver surface and occur predominantly on the right liver lobe. They are caused by pressure of the hypertrophied diaphragmatic muscle bundles predominantly in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on the liver parenchyma, resulting in superficial hepatic atrophy.

P Horrocks - 1966 -
SYNOPSIS Three patients were found at necropsy to have Zahn's 'infarcts' of the liver ... these cases the 'infarct' merely showed severe centrilobular congestion.
Zahn infarct - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zahn_infarct
A Zahn infarct is a pseudo-infarction of the liver, consisting of an area of congestion with parenchymal atrophy but no necrosis, and usually due to obstruction of a branch of the portal vein. Zahn infarcts are unique in that there is collateral congestion of liver sinusoids that do not include areas of anoxia seen in most infarcts. Fibrotic tissue may develop in the area of the infarct and it could be caused by an occlusive phlebitis in portal vein radicles. Non ischemic infarct of liver with lines of Zahn.
named after:
Friedrich Wilhelm Zahn - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Wilhelm_Zahn
Friedrich Wilhelm Zahn (14 February 1845 – 1904) was a German-Swiss pathologist born in Germersheim. His eponyms include Zahn infarct and lines of Zahn.
Lines of Zahn - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lines_of_Z
Lines of Zahn are a characteristic of thrombi that appear particularly when formed in the heart or aorta. They have visible and microscopic alternating layers (laminations) of platelets mixed with fibrin, which appear lighter and darker layers of red blood cells. Their presence implies thrombosis at a site of rapid blood flow that happened before death. In veins or smaller arteries, where flow is not as constant, they are less apparent.
