Multifocal cytomegalovirus-associated hepatic lesions simulating metastases in AIDS.
Fatty infiltration of the liver has been described in association with a large number of systemic conditions. The authors describe a case of multifocal fatty infiltration simulating metastatic disease. The patient had acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and pathologically proved cytomegalovirus hepatitis. To the authors' knowledge, neither entity has been described in association with this radiologic finding.
