Hepatic pseudotumor due to nodular fatty sparing: the diagnostic role of opposed-phase MRI

Wynnson W Tom et al. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2004 Sep.

Abstract

Objective: We sought to describe the role of opposed-phase MRI in the diagnosis of nodular fatty sparing in the liver.

Conclusion: Nodular fatty sparing of the liver displays characteristic findings on opposed-phase MRI. Because the lesion may otherwise mimic a hepatic tumor, knowledge of these findings may prevent unnecessary biopsy or inappropriate treatment.
