Sporadic exophytic hepatic angiomyolipoma

Hepatic Angiomyolipoma

Hepatic angiomyolipomas are rare benign tumours. First reported by Ishak in 1976. Since then, the world literature showed only 32 cases including 8 autopsy findings. In this paper a retrospective analysis of the published data will be presented and the first report of the preoperative colour doppler and intraoperative sonography appearances will also be described.

Sporadic oral angiomyolipoma. Case report.

Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare, benign tumour composed of a variable proportion of lipocytes, smooth muscle and thick-walled blood vessels. AML is part of a family of tumours arising from perivascular epithelioid cells (PEComas), and many cases are associated with tuberous sclerosis, with the kidney being the most frequent site involved. We report a case of sporadic AML in the hard palate of a ...

Exophytic angiomyolipoma vs retroperitoneal liposarcoma: CT features analysis

Renal and hepatic angiomyolipoma.

It is now common practice to undertake ultrasonography as the initial investigation of the renal tract but the finding of multiple hyperechoic tumours was quite unexpected. Such marked hyperechogenicity indicates a markedly fatty or fibrous consistency and excludes multiple cystic disease. Multiple well defined tumours in both kidneys is very suggestive ofangiomyolipomas, a benign hamartomatous...

Giant aneurysm formation in sporadic renal angiomyolipoma.

Angiomyolipomas are the most common mesenchymal renal neoplasms. Two types have been described: (i) sporadic angiomyolipoma and (ii) angiomyolipoma associated with tuberous sclerosis. Giant aneurysm formation is usually noted in angiomyolipomas associated with tuberous sclerosis and is rare in sporadic variety. Tumor diameter and aneurysm diameter have been used as predictors of rupture. We rep...
