[Lipoma and pseudolipoma of the liver (author's transl)].
Tumors and tumorlike lesions of fatty tissue arise only rarely in the liver. Those solitary nodules usually do not extend 2 cm in size and therefore remain clinically asymptomatic. Their gross appearance demands differential diagnosis from other tumorous or granulomatous lesions by means of biopsy and histological examination. Two characteristic cases with review of the literature are presented.
