Title: Migrating pseudolipoma of Glisson's capsule.

    Snippet: Pseudolipomas of Glisson's capsule are rare benign subcapsular liver lesions that typically affect older men. They are composed of degenerating fat that is thought to originate from a detached epiploic appendage. On Computed Tomographic (CT) imaging, pseudolipomas of Glisson's capsule are well-circumscribed and hypoattenuating compared to the hepatic parenchyma. This case report examines three consecutive CT studies in the same patient that show the pseudolipoma migrating to a hepatic subcapsula
    Document: Pseudolipomas of Glisson's capsule are rare benign subcapsular liver lesions that typically affect older men. They are composed of degenerating fat that is thought to originate from a detached epiploic appendage. On Computed Tomographic (CT) imaging, pseudolipomas of Glisson's capsule are well-circumscribed and hypoattenuating compared to the hepatic parenchyma. This case report examines three consecutive CT studies in the same patient that show the pseudolipoma migrating to a hepatic subcapsular location over a period of 4.5 months. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of a pseudolipoma migrating over time and it supports the hypothesis of a migrating epiploic appendage forming a pseudolipoma of Glisson's capsule. A comprehensive review of relevant literature and a discussion of the presented case are provided.
