  • Title: [A case of focal fatty liver difficult to distinguish from the liver metastasis of rectal cancer on CT].
    Author: Nishimoto H, Ohara S, Morita K, Kamiike O, Nishioka M, Yoshida S, Maeda T.
    Journal: Rinsho Hoshasen; 1989 Mar; 34(3):367-70. PubMed ID: 2739089.
    Abstract:
    The CT findings of focal fatty liver were previously described as follows, 1) nonspherical shape, 2) indistinct border, 3) absence of mass effect and 4) subsegmental appearance. We presented a case of focal fatty liver with spherical shape and distinct border, resembling the findings of liver tumor. In this case we could not rule out the liver metastasis from rectal cancer to the end. CT value and follow up examination are very useful to establish the proper diagnosis.
