Core Tip
Core Tip: Hepatic steatosis is a common radiologic finding, which can be divided into diffuse, geographic, focal, multifocal, perivascular, and subcapsular patterns. Some imaging inklings are the absence of a mass effect. Here, we present a case of hepatic steatosis with obvious mass effect and exogenous growth. It needs to be distinguished from liver tumors and other abdominal tumors containing fat. The T1-weighted in- and out-of-phase images and dynamic enhanced scanning have great differential diagnostic values.
