Excess fat in liver : "fatty liver" describes a pathological condition in which liver cells store excess amounts of lipid (fat). This can be due to a wide variety of causes, including various drugs (barbituates, ethanol), infections, excess fat in the diet, and others. See your doctor for an evaluation of why your son might have this, or if he actually does. It is rare in children.
