hepatic lipoma
Monday 2 August 2021
As with lipomas elsewhere in the body, hepatic lipomas are marginated masses that are composed of mature adipocytes without evidence of cellular atypia.
Histopathologic evaluation may reveal adenomatous, angiomatous, or myomatous tissue components, which may then yield a classification of "adenolipoma", "angiomyolipoma", or "myelolipoma".
Differential diagnosis
adenoma with fat component
angiomyolipoma
metastases from liposarcoma
fatty changes in hepatocellular carcinoma
