Abundant fat in the liver's ligamentum teres fissure can mimic a paraspinal mass on X-rays. Computed tomography clarifies this anatomical relationship, aiding accurate diagnosis.

Area of Science:

Radiology
Anatomy
Medical Imaging

Background:

The ligamentum teres is a remnant of the fetal umbilical vein.
Understanding its anatomical variations is crucial for accurate radiological interpretation.

Observation:

Abundant, sagittally oriented fat within the ligamentum teres fissure can be observed.
This fat can obscure or mimic other structures on imaging.

Findings:

The presence of significant fat in the ligamentum teres fissure outlines the right margin of the left lobe's lateral segment.
This anatomical configuration radiographically simulates a right paraspinal mass on plain abdominal radiographs.

Implications:

Accurate identification of fat in the ligamentum teres fissure prevents misdiagnosis of a paraspinal mass.
