Adjacent means "next to." Hepatic means related to the liver. Parenchyma means the bulk of an organ. So adjacent hepatic parenchyma is the bulk of the organ next to...something else. So if the previous sentence in the report referred to the gallbladder, the adjacent hepatic parenchyma is the liver tissue next to the gallbladder.
