Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma is a rare and potentially severe but treatable tumor: A report of three cases and review of the literature.

Abstract:

:Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) is a rare type of hepatic tumor. Due to a lack of adequate understanding about this tumor, hepatic EAML is often misdiagnosed as other diseases with similar clinical characteristics such as hepatic cancer. In the present study, 3 cases of hepatic EAML are reported, and the main clinicopathological features of this disease are presented, based on a literature search that included articles published in English between February 2000 and September 2014. A total of 24 hepatic EAML cases were considered, of which, 17 were females and 4 presented multiple liver lesions. Among the patients with single lesions, 2 underwent surgery and relapsed after 5 months and 9 years, respectively. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for human melanoma black-45 in the present 3 cases. The aim of the present study was to focus the attention of clinicians on this type of hepatic tumor in order to improve its diagnosis and treatment.
