Abstract：The imaging diagnosis of focal fat-containing hepatic poses a challenge due to the heterogeneity of fat components within the lesions and the overlap of imaging features.This article systematically analyzed the imaging differences among steatosis,adipose tissue,and liquid fat.It summarized the imaging features of focal fat-containing liver lesions such as hepatocellular carcinoma,hepatocellular adenoma,and angiomyolipoma.By identifying the specific type of fat within the lesion,accurately assessing other imaging features(e.g.,enhancement patterns),and integrating relevant clinical information,the differential diagnosis can be narrowed,thereby improving diagnostic accuracy.
