CT demonstrated a hypodense homogenous well defined rounded focal hepatic mass, measured 8 mm in diameter with a mean density -120-140 HU. Findings most consistent with a lipoma.
Case Discussion
Hepatic lipomas are asymptomatic extremely rare mesenchymal benign tumors. They are usually discovered incidentally and there is no risk of malignant transformation.
