Area of fat sparing in fatty liver is known to pose a diagnostic challenge in an oncological setting, especially in cancers with higher propensity for liver metastases. We report an unusual appearance of hepatic metastases in a fat spared area, on both computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET), in a combined 18 fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) PET/CT study done in metastatic adenocarcinoma of colon. |
