Abstract
Hepatic angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare tumor containing a variable amount of fat. Angiomyolipoma prevalently constituted by vessels can be difficult to differentiate from other hypervascular hepatic tumors containing a small amount of fat. We describe US power Doppler findings in a case of hepatic AML with minimal fat content.
