Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of hepatic angiomyolipoma(HAML). Methods Clinical data of 13 patients with operatively confirmed HAML treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results HAML was usually asymptomatic and the imaging features varied. Only 1 case was correctly diagnosed before operation. HMB45 positive staining was the pathologic characteristic of HAML. Conclusion HAML can be easily misdiagnosed, should be properly treated by surgery and has a good prognosis.
