It typically affects older adult men. In this case report, we discuss the case of a 71-year-old male who presented to our hospital with rectal adenocarcinoma. A pseudolipoma was incidentally detected on a preoperative computed tomography scan of the abdomen. We performed contrast-enhanced ultrasound to clarify the nature of this tumor. To the best of our knowledge, there have not been any documented reports on contrast-enhanced ultrasound findings of hepatic pseudolipoma.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Hepatic pseudolipoma appears on contrast-enhanced ultrasound as slightly hyperechoic nodule with poorly defined borders and regular morphology. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Diagnosis<\/jats:title><jats:p>On the basis of the patient\u2019s clinical symptoms, test results, and imaging manifestations, the lesion was considered a pseudolipoma, not a liver metastasis from rectal cancer.
