    Abstract:
    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.
