Objective:
To summarize the clinical and computed tomographic(CT) findings of tuberous sclerosis(TS) associated with hepatic and renal angiomyolipomas.
Method:
We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and CT findings of 7 TS patients with hepatic and renal angiomyolipomas.
Results:
Brain CT showed calcified nodules and/or the uncalcified nodule in the lateral ventricle subependymal in 7 patients. Abdominal CT showed bilateral renal angiomyolipomas in 7 cases and hepatic angiomyolipomas in 2 cases. Chest CT showed lymphangioleiomyomatosis in one case.
Conclusions:
TS associated with merger hepatic and/or renal angiomyolipomas have typical CT findings. Liver angiomyolipomas shows certain correlation with bilateral renal angiomyolipomas.
