Clinicopathological features and diagnostic challenges of hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma: a retrospective analysis of 27 cases

Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma presents with non-specific clinical and radiological features, making preoperative diagnosis challenging and often leading to misdiagnosis as other common liver tumors. Definitive diagnosis depends on histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis. Surgical resection remains the primary treatment due to the tumor's malignant potential. A high index of suspicion and reliance on pathological confirmation are crucial for accurate management of this rare tumor.
