Histopathologic evaluation demonstrated intratumoral fat in 10 of 22 tumors (45%). On MRI, intralesional fat was detected in eight lesions. Six lesions showed both histopathologic fat and signal loss on dual-echo MRI, whereas four lesions had histopathologic fat without detectable signal loss (&lt;\u20091%). Two lesions demonstrated signal loss on MRI despite the absence of histopathologic fat. Using histopathology as the reference standard, MRI demonstrated a sensitivity of 60% and a specificity of 83.3% with an overall accuracy of 72.7% for detecting intratumoral fat in hepatoblastoma.
