Recently, focal fat collections adjacent to the intrahepatic portion of the inferior vena cava (IVC) have been described as a normal variant. We present seven similar cases, and demonstrate the computed tomographic and sonographic findings. The differential diagnosis is discussed. We believe that the origin of these masses has not yet been satisfactorily proven, and that they may arise within the IVC. They appear to be benign, but there is a risk that they may be mistaken for more sinister pathology.
最近，下腔静脉（IVC）肝内段附近的局灶性脂肪聚集被描述为一种正常变异。我们报告了7例类似病例，并展示了计算机断层扫描和超声检查结果。文中讨论了鉴别诊断。我们认为这些肿块的起源尚未得到令人满意的证实，它们可能起源于下腔静脉内。它们似乎是良性的，但存在被误诊为更严重病变的风险。
