So my takeaway from this article is: where there is a concentration of mass, there is dark matter. (Quote: "According to models and simulations, all galaxies should be embedded in dark matter halos, whose densities peak at the galactic centers.")
Wiiild speculation: perhaps mass is actually a complex number with real and imaginary parts (analogous to how quantum mechanics describes fields), and what we're able to measure directly (by weighing) is the real part. The imaginary part ("dark matter") is some yet unknown interaction with gravitational force and what we measure indirectly with gravitational lensing is the complex magnitude.
