Abstract
Focal fatty metamorphosis of the liver is an entity that has recently been well described. This abnormality should be included in the differential computed tomographic (CT) diagnosis of lesions of decreased attenuation. Three cases are presented in which blunt liver trauma (of varying degrees) resulted in focal fatty metamorphosis that was documented by CT.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
