A 25 yrs old female patient came to our department for routine antenatal ultrasound. Sonography revealed presence of a 24 week live intrauterine pregnancy. During routine screening for congenital anomalies, multiple highly echogenic foci were seen on the visceral peritoneal surface of liver and the parietal peritoneum. However no evidence of dilated bowel/ fetal ascites was detected. No other anomaly was detected.
