Pseudolipoma of the liver is a rare condition which may be confused with metastatic tumours, primary tumours, or other lesions of the liver. This study presents three hepatic pseudolipomas that occurred in men aged 33, 38, and 42 years. The prevalence of hepatic pseudolipomas was 0.2% in a series of 1300 consecutive necropsies. The histological elements of pseudolipoma are identical with those of twisted peritoneal fat nodules (epiploic appendix) or peritoneal loose bodies, four cases of which were also found in the same material. The size of the migrating loose body may be the critical factor for entry into the space between the diaphragm and the liver. The nutrition of one pseudolipoma seemed to have been obtained from the liver capsule. There was no significant correlation with previous abdominal surgery or obesity.
肝脏假脂肪瘤是一种罕见病症，可能会与肝脏转移瘤、原发性肿瘤或其他病变相混淆。本研究报告了3例发生在33岁、38岁和42岁男性身上的肝脏假脂肪瘤。在连续1300例尸检中，肝脏假脂肪瘤的患病率为0.2%。假脂肪瘤的组织学成分与扭曲的腹膜脂肪结节（网膜阑尾）或腹膜游离体相同，在同一批材料中也发现了4例此类情况。游走性游离体的大小可能是进入膈肌与肝脏之间间隙的关键因素。其中一个假脂肪瘤的营养似乎来自肝包膜。与既往腹部手术或肥胖无显著相关性。
