title: [Lipoma of the liver (author's transl)].
abstract: A patient with a lipoma of the liver is described; the accuracy of sonography, scintigraphy, computer tomography and angiography in the pre-operative diagnosis is discussed. Computer tomography appears to be the method of choice for the recognition of this very rare tumour, in view of the characteristic attenuation produced by fatty tissue.
