US power Doppler of hepatic angiomyolipoma with low fat content

Eur Radiol. 2000;10(6):935-7. doi: 10.1007/s003300051040.

Abstract

Hepatic angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare tumor containing a variable amount of fat. Angiomyolipoma prevalently constituted by vessels can be difficult to differentiate from other hypervascular hepatic tumors containing a small amount of fat. We describe US power Doppler findings in a case of hepatic AML with minimal fat content.
