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.
肝脂肪变性很常见;然而,它可能呈现出不寻常的模式,导致诊断困境。在此,我们报告一例脂肪肝和多灶性肝结节性病变的病例,结果发现是多灶性结节性脂肪 sparing,它模仿转移瘤或原发性多灶性肿瘤。由于仅基于超声对这些病变进行鉴别诊断可能很困难,了解磁共振成像(MRI)表现至关重要。这使放射科医生能够做出正确诊断,并使患者免于不必要的活检。
