Hepatic leiomyomas in two adult patients with AIDS: intravenous contrast-enhanced CT and MR imaging.
Multiple opportunistic infections and neoplasms have been described in the AIDS population over the past 20 years. Four cases of AIDS-related hepatic smooth muscle tumors (leiomyomas) have been described, and of these, three were in children. The fourth case was in a single patient with two hepatic lesions. We describe the imaging features of two adult cases with biopsy-proven hepatic leiomyomas. In one of the cases, the gadolinium-enhanced MRI findings are described, which have not previously been reported.
