Abstract

BURKO, Pavel et al. A case report of multinodular hepatic steatosis mimicking pseudotumors of the liver. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.1, pp.1-5. ISSN 2078-6778.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v26i1.2410.

Fatty liver disease (FLD) is a common, benign pathology often found incidentally. We present a clinical case in which metastatic liver disease was suspected on initial imaging studies. Following further investigations, a diagnosis of 'non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), multinodular type' was postulated. Subsequent histology confirmed the presence of liver steatosis. Multinodular type hepatic steatosis is a rare, but clinically important pathology to identify and differentiate from other multifocal lesions of the liver parenchyma.

Keywords : liver; hepatic steatosis; pseudotumours; magnetic resonance imaging; computed tomography; fatty liver disease.
