Hepatic lipomas and steatosis: an association beyond chance.

Objective: To determine if hepatic lipomas have a higher prevalence of liver steatosis than other benign hepatic lesions.

Materials And Methods: Ninety-two benign hepatic lesions were analyzed with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. There were 6 lipomas and 86 benign non-lipomatous lesions, including 55 hemangiomas, 23 focal nodular hyperplasias (FNH) and 8 adenomas.
