Multifocal nodular nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: resolution with rosiglitazone.
Year: 2007
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Multifocal nodular fatty infiltration of the liver mimicking metastatic disease has been reported in the literature.1–4 Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been associated with insulin resistance.5 Insulin sensitizers have been shown to improve liver biochemistry and histology in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).6–10 We report a case of multifocal nodular NASH in which radiologic abnormalities dramatically resolved after receiving rosiglitazone. This correlated with improvement in glycemic control, as well as with insulin sensitivity in both the fasting and fed states.
