The liver is of lower attenuation than normal, consistent with diffuse steatosis with a region of focal fatty sparing deep in segment 4. Multiple liver lesions are again demonstrated and these have a typical enhancement pattern of hemangiomata. There is also a 7 cm left lower pole renal simple cyst. No significant abnormality in the spleen, pancreas, either adrenal gland or right kidney. No upper abdominal para-aortic lymphadenopathy.
