  • Hepatic Angiomyolipoma: CT Manifestations and Clinicopathologic Correlation (Report of 3 Cases)

    Objective To investigate the CT imaging features of hepatic angiomyolipoma and its clinical characteristics. Methods The clinical, radiological, and pathological data of 3 hepatic angiomyolipoma (HAML) patients were retrospectively collected, and the imaging and diagnostic features were analyzed.Results All 3 cases were females, 2 complained of abdominal pain and one was absent of symptom. Both the laboratory examinations were normal in 2 cases, and hepatitis B virus markers were positive in one case. For CT features, the mass located in the superior anterior segment of the right hepatic lobe, in the posterior inferior segment of the right hepatic lobe, and in the left medial lobe, respectively. There were components of fat and soft tissue attenuation in these masses, and in which the CT value of the fat component was from -80 HU to -20 HU (mean -50 HU). There were enhancement in different degree and enhanced vascular imaging could be seen within the lesions. During surgery, all 3 masses were outgrowed from the hepatic lobes. Immunostainning showed HMB45 (+), αSMA (+), S100 (+),which were bly suggestive of HAML.Conclusion HAML is a rare benign tumor with characteristic CT appearance, and its definite diagnosis relies on the immunohistochemical staining of HMB-45.
