title: Magnetic resonance imaging of an angiomyolipoma of the liver.
abstract: A case of hepatic angiomyolipoma and its imaging features are presented. Computed tomography of the liver showed a low-density mass without obvious fat. T1-weighted magnetic resonance images revealed a low-signal-intensity mass containing some tiny high-signal-intensity foci. One of the high-signal-intensity foci was found by histology to represent the fat component of the tumor.
