Abstract:
Angiomyolipoma, a form of mixed mesenchymal tumor, a not uncommon tumor of the kidney, is rarely found in the liver. We report a case of angiomyolipoma of the liver in a 34-year-old woman, in whom diagnosis was made by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, superior mesenteric and celiac trunk angiography and histological examination. The treatment of choice was a successful extended right hepatectomy.
