“…Although a certain interest on this peculiar pattern of presentation was recently developed in literature, the incidence of the multinodular pattern of hepatic steatosis is currently unclear [7]. Moreover, most of these studies are focused on a single imaging modality [4,[8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]]. On the other hand, to the best of our knowledge, only two studies on multinodular fatty sparing, were reported in literature in the last 20 years [1,19].…”

Hepatic steatosis is a frequent benign liver condition that can be idiopathic or secondary. The degree of fatty liver infiltration can be focal, diffuse or patchy. In this study, we present two patients with hepatic steatosis and multiple nodular liver lesions, due to fatty infiltration and fatty sparing respectively, mimicking a primary tumor or metastases (“pseudotumors”).Since the differential diagnosis of this kind of lesions can be difficult based on imaging alone, the knowledge of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings may help radiologists to avoid an incorrect diagnosis of liver tumor, and unnecessary biopsies.
