Abstract

A 46-year-old woman presented with recurrent right upper quadrant pain. Abdominal ultrasound revealed an inhomogeneous liver lesion (4 & x202f;x 7 & x202f;cm) with complex echotexture. Since further contrast-enhanced imaging tests were inconclusive and lesion integrity remained unclear, a left hemihepatectomy was performed. Histological examination revealed a hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma. Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma is a rare, mostly benign, mesenchymal hepatic tumor, composed of smooth muscle cells, adipose tissue, and blood vessels of varying proportions, and its correct diagnosis remains a clinical challenge.
