Abstract: Objective To investigate the imaging manifestations and clinical features of hepatic and renal angiomyolipoma. Meth-ods The clinical data and imaging findings of hepatic and renal angiomyolipoma in a 51-year-old woman was retrospectively ana-lyzed with literature review. Results CT scan showed a large polymorphous hypodense mass in the right lobe of liver. After contrast -enhanced CT scan, the mass was enhanced gradually from periphery to ceritre. Bilateral kidneys obviously enlarged and appeared as alveolate appearance mixed density with spotty and stripped fat structures. At contrast-enhanced scan, the normal structures of cor-tex and medulla were disappeared, the alveolate walls were enhanced obviously. The arteries and veins of bilateral kidneys were com-pressed and displaced. Conclusion The imaging features of liver and kidney are of certain characteristic compared with other benign and malignant masses,but the final diagnosis of it is still depending on pathology mostly.
