Angiomyolipoma is a solid mesenchymal tumour that usually affects the kidney. Hepatic localization of angiomyolipoma (HAML) is rare and usually asymptomatic however it presents a challenging differential diagnosis. We present the case of a 45-year-old man affected by tuberous sclerosis complex type 2 (TSC2) and an hepatic lesion suspected to be hepatocellular carcinoma on magnetic resonance but whose Bmode ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) findings were consistent with benignity, as confirmed by histology.
血管平滑肌脂肪瘤是一种通常累及肾脏的实性间叶组织肿瘤。肝脏血管平滑肌脂肪瘤（HAML）定位罕见且通常无症状，但它的鉴别诊断具有挑战性。我们报告了一例45岁男性患者，患有2型结节性硬化症（TSC2），其肝脏病变在磁共振成像上疑似肝细胞癌，但B超和超声造影（CEUS）检查结果显示为良性，组织学检查也证实了这一点。
