摘要：Although angiomyolipoma (AML) is commonly found in the kidney, its appearance in the liver is rare. The first hepatic AML was reported by Ishak in 1976. Since then, there have been various reports of AML. An AML is a tumour affecting adipocytes, muscle tissues, and blood vessels. Hepatic AML has been associated with tuberous sclerosis. Its spontaneous occurrence has also been noticed. It can have a varied presentation with some being asymptomatic, others presenting with a dull aching pain, while some with disastrous consequences due to rupture and torrential bleeding intra-abdominally. Herein, we present a case of a 47-year-old female with a large hepatic AML having an internal hemorrhage that caused changes in hepatic arteries. In our case, magnetic resonance imaging was unable to establish a diagnosis. Intraoperatively, AML caused dilatation and engorgement of vessels around the porta. Immediately post resection, vessel dilatation and engorgement were reduced on table. Another notable feature was that these changes caused no intra-operative or post-operative hemodynamic changes. We report a case of a huge hepatic AML with internal hemorrhage associated with perihepatic vascular changes having a successful surgical treatment.
