“…In most cases, hepatic AML occurs spontaneously, is not associated with renal locations (8), and is usually identified in adult women where its size may range from microscopic to giant. Most cases are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, but they can be symptomatic and may occasionally rupture (9).…”

“…In cases in which the tumor occurs in isolation, however, it may be difficult on sonography to differentiate the tumor from other benign and malignant lesions, which may appear echogenic or complex and may have fat densities. 16 Intracellular fat content has also been described in hepatic adenoma, well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma, nodular regenerative hyperplasia, and regenerative hyperplasia. 17 Focal fatty infiltration is a pseudolesion that may mimic fatty benign and malignant lesions.…”

“…En la secuencia T1 de la resonancia magnética (RM) se comporta como una masa de baja intensidad de señal con focos hiperintensos que se corresponden con aquellas zonas grasas de mayor hipoatenuación en la TAC 8 . Con la técnica de supresión grasa (RM) esta área hipercaptante en T1 aparece hipointensa y tras la inyección de gadolinio en la RM las zonas más vascularizadas del tumor aparecen con hipercaptación importante y duradera 1,3,9,10 . A su vez puede analizarse el componente vascular del tumor en los estudios dinámicos con contraste (TAC) en los que se observa una captación difusa, temprana y prolongada, lo que sugiere una proliferación vascular.…”

“…El estudio histológico tras punción aspiración con aguja fina (PAAF) o biopsia del tumor ponen de manifiesto su constitución por células de músculo liso, grasa, vasos sanguíneos y en ocasiones tejido hematopoyético. Los estudios inmunohistoquímicos (la positividad para el anticuerpo monoclonal HMB-45) confirman el diagnóstico y permiten diferenciarlo de otros tumores hepáticos hipervasculares o con componente graso, tanto benignos como malignos 2,3 .…”
