Two cases of hepatic metastatic tumor occurring in irregular fatty liver are reported. These metastatic tumors appeared as irregularly shaped hyperdense areas and were difficult to distinguish from focally spared areas of irregular fatty liver. Even if areas of focal sparing are irregular in shape, hepatic tumors should be carefully ruled out in patients at high risk for liver tumors.
