Multiple primary liver lipomas in a patient with chronic hepatitis B: a case report.
True liver lipomas are extremely rare. We present a case of a female patient with a history of chronic hepatitis B and multiple liver lipomas. The patient was completely asymptomatic. Liver ultrasound was suggestive of lipomas, whereas the diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. To our knowledge, this is the first report of multiple liver lipomas in the literature.
