title: Displacement of malignant cells into the portal triad of the liver results in reduced liver perfusion, mimicking segmental Fatty liver.
abstract: Liver steatosis is often observed in different clinical situations. Oncological patients undergoing systemic therapy often develop liver steatosis, which can be diagnosed with normal routine scans such as CT and ultrasound. In this case report, we show that an isolated infiltration of the portal triad with tumor cells could mimic a fatty-like infiltration of the liver. Radiologists and clinicians should be aware of this pitfall and should perform a biopsy in cases of doubt.
