Hepatic Angiomyolipoma with Minimal Intratumoral Fat Content
We report a rare case of hepatic angiomyolipoma with minimal fat content. The low fat content led to an incorrect preoperative diagnosis. A 38-year-old man who was a carrier of hepatitis B virus infection incidentally presented with a hepatic tumor. His serum alpha-fetoprotein level was normal. Ultrasonography revealed a well-circumscribed, heterogeneous hypoechoic nonencapsulated liver tumor m...
متن کاملHepatic angiomyolipoma with minimal fat, mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma
An angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign mesenchymal tumor composed of blood vessels, smooth muscle cells, and a varying amount of fat. The liver is the second most common site of AML involvement, after the kidney. In general, hepatic AML can be easily suggested as a diagnosis by identifying the abundant fatty component seen on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, i...
متن کاملHepatic Angiomyolipoma
Hepatic angiomyolipomas are rare benign tumours. First reported by Ishak in 1976. Since then, the world literature showed only 32 cases including 8 autopsy findings. In this paper a retrospective analysis of the published data will be presented and the first report of the preoperative colour doppler and intraoperative sonography appearances will also be described.
متن کاملRenal and hepatic angiomyolipoma.
It is now common practice to undertake ultrasonography as the initial investigation of the renal tract but the finding of multiple hyperechoic tumours was quite unexpected. Such marked hyperechogenicity indicates a markedly fatty or fibrous consistency and excludes multiple cystic disease. Multiple well defined tumours in both kidneys is very suggestive ofangiomyolipomas, a benign hamartomatous...
متن کاملHepatic angiomyolipoma with a giant hemangioma.
Hepatic angiomyolipoma is a rare hepatic mesenchymal tumor. We report a case of hepatic angiomyolipoma that was successfully resected along with a giant hemangioma. A 53-year-old Japanese woman was admitted to our hospital for further evaluation of a liver tumor in segment 4. The tumor was detected on positron emission tomography during a health check-up. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a we...
