CT features of hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma: differentiation from hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with noncirrhotic livers

摘要

BackgroundHepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma (HEA) shares some similarities with other hepatic tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Thus, establishing a definite diagnosis of HEA based on medical imaging is often difficult. In this study, we evaluated multiphasic computed tomography (CT) imaging to differentiate HEA from HCC in patients with noncirrhotic livers.
