Abstract
|
|
|
|
Angiomyolipoma with epithelial cysts (AMLEC) or cystic angiomyolipoma has been recently described as a distinct cystic variant of angiomyolipoma. Although angiomyolipoma (AML) is usually composed of adipose, vascular, and muscular tissue lacking an epithelial element, AMLEC contains an epithelial component in the form of gross or microscopic cysts. To date, the radiologic appearance of AMLEC has been demonstrated in only one case report, as a solid mass containing a tiny cystic focus. This report shows another imaging feature of AMLEC, which presents as a multiloculated cystic mass without a visible solid portion on CT and MRI.
