Abstract
- A hepatic angiomyolipoma is a rare benign tumor mainly composed of blood vessels, smooth muscle cells and fat cells in varying proportion. Hepatic angiomyolipoma is often misdiagnosed as a hepatocellular carcinoma in preoperative imaging work-up. To date, there has been little published data describing PET findings of hepatic angiomyolipoma. We report one case of hepatic angiomyolipoma that showed a high acetate and relatively low FDG uptake on PET images.
