Abstract
Rarely, hepatic metastases can simulate hepatic infiltrative diseases. We present a case of a patient with advanced metastatic renal cell carcinoma who developed hepatomegaly and clinical signs of hepatocellular injury. On magnetic resonance imaging, the injury simulated a diffuse process, e.g., acute fulminant viral or chemical hepatitis or drug toxicity. Despite its high resolution, magnetic resonance imaging might not depict focal lesions in patients with extensive metastases. In correlation with clinical history, malignant disease should be considered when diffusely abnormal hepatic signal intensity is noted.
