Abstract

Pseudolipoma of inferior vena cava refers to a normal variant of adipose collection that is seen in typical pericaval or juxtacaval location; however, it mimics an intracaval mass lesion, especially fat-containing lesions such as lipoma. Awareness of this entity is very important to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary diagnostic procedures.
