Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose:
@EN To ascertain the characteristic CT findings of multiple focal fatty infiltrations mimicking the metastases in the cirrhotic liver.
@ES Materials and Methods:
@EN Multiple hypodensities in the liver on abdominal CT scan proved to be fatty infiltration by histological diagnosis(n=3) and showed changes on follow up CT scans(n=5) were retrospectively analysed in five patients with liver cirrhosis.
@ES Results:
@EN CT scans showed that all five patients had typical findings of liver cirrhosis and multiple hypodensities in the liver. These hypodensties were small, discrete, and diffusely distributed throughout the liver. There was enhancing central spot
within
some of the hypodensities. The hypodensities disappeared completely in two cases and partially disappeared in one case but there was no remarkable changes in the rest two cases on follow up CT scans.
@ES Conclusion:
@EN Fatty infiltration may be suggested if there is relatively uniform sized and discrete hypodensities with central enhancing dot in the cirrhotic liver. These hypodensities may be disappeared on followup CT scans.
