Lipomatous tumors of the liver: evaluation with CT and US

JL Roberts, EK Fishman, DS Hartman, R Sanders, Z Goodman and SS Siegelman

Seven cases of lipomatous masses within the liver parenchyma were demonstrated with computed tomography (CT). Five of these cases were obtained from a retrospective review of 50 cases of renal angiomyolipoma in which the liver was adequately demonstrated. The other two cases were from the files of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and had no associated renal lesions. Three of the five cases were associated with tuberous sclerosis. In all seven cases, the fatty tumors appeared on CT scans as a well-defined, 0.8-13-cm mass, with attenuation coefficients of less than -30 HU. On ultrasound studies, the lesions were well circumscribed, highly echogenic, and similar to hemangiomas. While distinctly rare lesions, these lipomatous masses are not as unusual as the literature would indicate. One may anticipate such masses in patients with renal angiomyolipomas and in a relatively high percentage of those with tuberous sclerosis.
