Abstract
Six patients undergoing computed tomographic (CT) evaluation for possible abdominal and pelvic metastases were shown to have diffuse fatty infiltration of the liver and findings indeterminate for hepatic metastases. In two patients with diffuse fatty infiltration and no focal hepatic lesions on CT, technetium-99m sulfur colloid imaging demonstrated focal hepatic defects confirmed to represent metastases. In four patients with diffuse fatty infiltration and hyperdense liver foci on CT, radionuclide imaging demonstrated normal uptake in the hyperdense foci confirmed to represent areas of normal liver spared by fatty infiltration. In each of the six patients, clinical management was altered by the radionuclide findings.
