Abstract


Hepatic and renal angiomyolipoma is a rare clinical condition to diagnose radiologically. We are presenting a case with typical radiological features on CT scan, which were later confirmed by the histopathological examination. Our case has involvement of both liver and kidneys with tuberous sclerosis of dorsolumbar vertebrae. The typical features are highlighted in our case report.

Key Words: Angiomyolipoma, Tuberous sclerosis, CT scan, Liver and Kidney
