Contrast-enhanced ultrasound findings of hepatic pseudolipoma: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hepatic pseudolipoma is a relatively rare benign tumor of the liver in primary hepatic lesions and is characterized by focal fat around the liver capsule. It typically affects older adult men. In this case report, we discuss the case of a 71-year-old male who presented to our hospital with rectal adenocarcinoma. A pseudolipoma was incidentally detected on a preoperative computed tomography scan of the abdomen. We performed contrast-enhanced ultrasound to clarify the nature of this tumor. To the best of our knowledge, there have not been any documented reports on contrast-enhanced ultrasound findings of hepatic pseudolipoma.

Findings

Hepatic pseudolipoma appears on contrast-enhanced ultrasound as slightly hyperechoic nodule with poorly defined borders and regular m
