Abstract
The purpose of our study was to retrospectively evaluate the computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging features of epithelioid angiomyolipoma of the liver (Epi-HAML), with pathology as a reference. We reviewed the CT/MRI findings of six lesions of Epi-HAML and found absence of adipose tissue in the lesions. In addition, recognizing the imaging features of no capsule, and hypervasularity with central punctiform or filiform vessels as a characteristic enhancement may distinguish Epi-HAML from other hepatic tumors.Keywords
