More than Pus – Primary Hepatic Epithelioid Angiomyolipoma Masquerading as Liver Abscess

Abstract: Hepatic angiomyolipomas (AML) are rare mesenchymal tumours of which the epithelioid type is a rare type with malignant potential. We report a case of primary hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma masquerading as liver abscess. A 46-year-old man presented with a 5-day history of fever with epigastric pain and nausea. On the night of admission, his temperature spiked to 39°C, his blood pressure was 135/79, his heart rate 98, his liver function test revealed albumin 37 g/L, bilirubin 25 μmol/L, ALP 298 U/L, ALT 247 … Show more

“…Among 105 patients reported in the literature, 12 patients had hepatitis B virus (HBV), and two had hepatitis C virus infection (Table 2). 1,6,12,1646 Few patients were found to have HEAML complicated with HBV. However, hepatitis B-positive patients with HCC are quite common, so the diagnosis and treatment of patients requires care to avoid misdiagnosis.…”

“…Ангиомиолипома -это редкое доброкачественное образование мезенхимального происхождения, представляющее собой периваскулярную эпителиоидноклеточную опухоль (ПЭКому) и состоящее из гетерогенных элементов кровеносных сосудов, липоцитов и гладкомышечных клеток в вариабельном соотношении [1,2]. Ангиомиолипома может обнаруживаться в разных органах, однако чаще всего поражает почки, на втором месте по частоте выявления стоит печень [3,4].…”

“…При низком содержании жировой ткани в опухоли приходится производить дифференциальную диагностику ангиомиолипомы с аденомой, липомой и гепатоцеллюлярной карциномой (ГЦК) печени [9]. Хотя ангиомиолипома и считается доброкачественным новообразованием, были зарегистрированы случаи злокачественного перерождения опухоли, подтверждающие возможность ее малигнизации [1,3,6].…”
