A patient, referred under a diagnosis of metastatic liver tumors, was found to have multiple areas of focal fatty change (FFC) which, during follow-up, exhibited discordant evolutions. To our knowledge, this phenomenon-regression of a FFC lesion with concurrent appearance or progression of other similar lesions in the same patient, has been reported in only one previous case. FFC can be strongly suggested by clinical, biochemical and radiologic criteria. However, an exact diagnosis can only be made with biopsy. To avoid misdiagnosing a malignancy as FFC and vice versa, biopsy should be performed without hesitation in all patients in whom a change in approach is possible.
