Fat-Containing Lesions of the Liver : A Review of Differential Diagnoses

The presence of intralesional fat provides an invaluable tool for narrowing the differential diagnosis for both benign and malignant neoplasms of the abdomen and pelvis. The ability to characterize intralesional fat is further expanded by the ability of magnetic resonance imaging to detect small quantities (intravoxel) of fat. The differential diagnosis of fat-containing lesions arising in the liver is broader than that of many other solid organs. However, this differential can be further refined depending on the type of fat (macroscopic vs intravoxel) and with the use of ancillary imaging findings. Radiologists must be aware of benign and malignant mimickers of common lesions.
