    Abstract:
    Angiomyolipoma of the liver is an extremely rare type of tumor and reported cases are few and far between. This case study reports on a 37-year-old woman who suffered from multiple angiomyolipomas of the liver. Ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) initially revealed the existence of two tumors located in the right lobe of the liver and measuring 20 x 15 mm and 8 x 7 mm in size. The patient underwent partial resections of the liver. Histopathologic examination of both the resected specimens revealed angiomyolipoma. This is the first reported case of multiple angiomyolipomas of the liver. Furthermore, the lesions of our case study were small in size and rich in fat component. Under such conditions, preoperative examination resulting in an angiomyolipoma diagnosis is difficult even with the aid of imaging modality and needle biopsy techniques.
