Focal hypersteatosis: a pseudolesion in patients with liver steatosis.

CONCLUSION: Focal hypersteatosis is a pseudolesion that can be observed in patients with liver steatosis. It appears hypodense on CT and mostly isoechoic on US relative to fatty liver. It may mimic metastasis in cancer patients with steatosis, due to nodular shape and atypical location. MRI should be used for correct diagnosis in patients with equivocal findings on CT to avoid biopsy. PMID: 30582571 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
