Also known as hepatic steatosis. It happens when fat builds up in the liver. Having small amounts of fat in your liver is normal, but too much can become a health problem. Hepatic steatosis can be due to the abnormal accumulation of lipids, particularly triglycerides within hepatocytes.
“Diffuse infiltration” means fat deposits are distributed evenly throughout the liver.
Focal fatty sparing of the liver is the localised absence of increased intracellular hepatic fat, in a liver otherwise fatty in appearance i.e. diffuse hepatic steatosis. Recognition of this finding is important to prevent the erroneous belief that the region of sparing is itself a mass.
