Heterogeneous fatty degeneration of the liver was detected in 8 patients by ultrasound recordings, and confirmed by biopsy and the subsequent course. The etiology was alcoholism in most cases. Elevated transaminases and gamma GT were associated with modifications in hepatic ultrasound images. Foci of liver fatty degeneration were hyperechogenic, usually with clearly defined outlines, and were segmental, polygonal or rounded, and lacking mass effects. This condition requires differentiation from primary or secondary liver tumors, and can be confirmed by a CT scan and biopsy of a hyperechogenic zone found on ultrasonographic images strongly suggestive of the lesions.

D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
