A case report of multinodular hepatic steatosis mimicking pseudotumors of the liver

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: 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.
