Multifocal Nodular Fatty Sparing Mimicking Hepatic Tumors
Hepatic steatosis is frequent; however, it may present with unusual patterns, resulting in a diagnostic dilemma. Herein, we present a case of fatty liver and multifocal nodular hepatic lesions that were found to be due to multifocal nodular fatty sparing, which mimics metastasis or primary multifoca...

description | Hepatic steatosis is frequent; however, it may present with unusual patterns, resulting in a diagnostic dilemma. Herein, we present a case of fatty liver and multifocal nodular hepatic lesions that were found to be due to multifocal nodular fatty sparing, which mimics metastasis or primary multifocal tumors. As the differential diagnosis of such lesions can be difficult based on ultrasound alone, the knowledge of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings is crucial. It enables the radiologists to make the correct diagnosis and alleviate the patient from unnecessary biopsies. |
