Abstract
Pseudolipoma of the liver is a rare lesion which consists of fat cells and is usually found incidentally during abdominal surgery or autopsy. Macroscopically, it resembles metastatic tumors in the liver and it is sometimes resected during surgery. The lesion is often demonstrated by computed tomography (CT) as a low-attenuation nodule and is easily confused with hepatic cysts. As to the histogenesis, it is suggested that this lesion is a pseudotumor, formed by a peritoneal loose body which is pushed by the diaphragm to the liver surface. Clinically, it is important to be aware of this lesion in making a differentiation from true lipomatous tumor in the liver, well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma with fatty change and metastatic liver cancer.
