Abstract

Hepatic angiomyolipoma (HAML) is a rare, benign mesenchymal liver tumor that is characterized by its composition with blood vessel, smooth muscle and adipose tissue of varying proportions. This characteristic of variable composition may complicate diagnosis and lead to misdiagnoses. Also, multiple HAMLs are extremely rare. We report an unusual case of a patient with multiple HAMLs.
