Overview
CT Scan
Abdominal CT scan may be diagnostic for angiomyolipoma. On CT scan, angiomyolipoma is characterized by:[1]
- Smooth tumor margin with low intratumoral fat component
- Homogenous enhancement on both corticomedullary and excretory phase scans
- Negative attenuation on unenhanced CT scan
- Rarely calcification may be present
CT images demonstrate a large kidney angiomyolipoma
CT images demonstrate a large liver angiomyolipoma
