We present case of focal fatty liver lesions. Echography images revealed multiple hyperechogenic lesions similar to those observed in metastatic disease. Aspiration was negative and diagnosis was based on the results of liver biopsy alone, carried out during laparoscopy. The difficulty of determining the etiology of this type of lesión by echography is discussed.
