We present the case report of a 60 year old man with multiple focal echogenic lesions on ultrasound. While CT and MRI suggested the diagnosis of focal fatty infiltration of the liver, histology and serology showed a chronic hepatitis C infection. This is to our knowledge the first case of a patient with hepatitis C infection in whom focal steatosis could be seen on different imaging techniques. |
