Abstract

Hepatic angiomyolipoma is a rare benign lipomatous tumor of the liver. Radiologic studies usually reveal a fat component, but since this may be minimal, such a component is not always detected. We report a case of atypical hepatic angiomyolipoma which because of the non-visualization of fat at CT and MR imaging, was difficult to differentiate from other hypervascular tumors.
