Abstract

Introduction. Benign tumors of the liver are rare. Liver angiomyolipoma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor that usually occurs in adult female patients. There are four types of hepatic angiomyolipoma: (I) hybrid; (II) myoma type; (III) lipoma type; and (IV) hemangioma type. Case outline. We present a 44-year-old female without symptoms, admitted to the Department of Surgery due to the lesion of the third segment of the liver, measuring 35 × 30 × 15 mm. Tumor was totally excised, and the margins of resection were clean. The differential diagnosis based on radiological findings might be difficult. There are many liver disorders with fatty components, both benign and malignant, e.g., hepatic steatosis, adenoma, lipoma, hepatocellular carcinoma or liposarcoma. Conclusion. Its prognosis is good and the recommended treatment is surgical resection.
