Overview
On abdominal ultrasound, angiomyolipoma is characterized by hyperechoic lesions and posterior acoustic shadowing in the cortex.
Ultrasound
On abdominal ultrasound, angiomyolipoma is characterized by:
- Hyperechoic lesions and posterior acoustic shadowing in the cortex
- In the setting of tuberous sclerosis:
- Contrast-enhanced ultrasound of demonstrates:
- Angiomyolipoma lesions tend to enhance peripherally
- Decreased central enhancement of angiomyolipoma, compared with normal cortex
