Pseudolipoma, also known as pseudolipoma of the Glisson's capsule, is an encapsulated lesion that contains degenerated fat and is enveloped by the liver capsule. In this report, we discuss a 37-year-old male presenting with dysuria and microscopic hematuria who revealed an incidental finding of a pseudolipoma on a CT scan of the abdomen.

Pseudolipoma of Glisson's capsule is a rare, benign subcapsular liver lesion that typically occurs in older adult men. It comprises degenerated fat tissue that likely originates from detached mesothelial appendages or degenerated liver lipomas. We report the case of a 58-year-old female patient with a gastric malignant tumor after admission.

Hepatic pseudolesions are defined as non-neoplastic focal abnormalities of the liver which can mimic or conceal true liver lesions. It is particularly common in liver due to its unique dual blood supply and the existence of multilevel anastomosis between them. Because of the recent advances in CT and MRI technology, they are being increasingly encountered in daily practice.

Pseudolipomas of Glisson's capsule are rare benign subcapsular liver lesions that typically affect older men. They are composed of degenerating fat that is thought to originate from a detached epiploic appendage. On Computed Tomographic (CT) imaging, pseudolipomas of Glisson's capsule are well-circumscribed and hypoattenuating compared to the hepatic parenchyma.

Background: Fat can be identified in numerous liver lesions, and usually is not a specific finding. Distinguishing between different kinds of fatty deposits is an important part of differential diagnosis. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is superior to other imaging techniques because it allows distinguishing intracellular from macroscopic fat.
