Abstract:
Angiomyolipoma arising from the liver is a rare primary benign lipomatous tumor of the lever. We experienced a case of surgically proven hepatic angiomyolipoma, which was preoperatively diagnosed by definning of its characteristic histologic components and benign radiologic nature with various imaging modalities including ultrasound, dynamic computed tomography, angiography, and magnetic resonance imaging. It was the first reported case in the world that full radiologic evaluation was taken and internal vascular proliferation was defined by using dynamic bolus CT prior to angiography.
