Hepatic Epithelioid Angiomyolipoma and 18F-FDG PET/CT

Clin Nucl Med. 2018 Jun;43(6):422-424. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000002048.

Abstract

Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma (AML) is rare. Although generally epithelioid AML shows benign biological behavior, it can occasionally have malignant potential. In this study, we report a case of 2 hepatic epithelioid AMLs with different F-FDG uptake; one is intensely FDG avid, and the other is non-FDG avid.
