title: Intense FDG activity in focal hepatic steatosis.
abstract: A 38-year-old woman underwent PET/CT to evaluate possible hepatic malignancy. The images revealed intense FDG activity in several hypodense regions in the liver, most prominent in the lateral segment of the left lobe. The pathological examination showed that the patient had focal hepatic steatosis.
