Abstract

Angiomyolipoma (AML) of the liver is an extremely rare benign tumor, which is composed of fat, vessels and muscles. Hepatic angiomyolipomas have always been reported as either solitary masses, or multiple tumors in association with tuberous sclerosis. We present a patient with recurrent uterine leiomyosarcoma with multiple hepatic angiomyolipomas. No evidence of tuberous sclerosis was found in the patient. The diagnostic features of hepatic angiomyolipomas on computed tomography differ from hepatic metastases, fatty infiltration, lipoma and hepatoma. Our findings are presented and discussed.
