Hepatic lipoma

Discussion:

Small well-circumscribed hepatic lesion of a homogeneous fatty-density with no enhancement suggestive of a hepatic lipoma (incidental finding). It is considered an uncommon benign lesion.

On imaging, the main differential diagnosis is an angiomyolipoma which remains difficult to differentiate from a lipoma due to the lack of pathognomonic features and often the final diagnosis is given by biopsy or resection

For the differential diagnoses please, refer to the article: fat-containing liver lesions.
