摘要
We used contrast-enhanced ultrasound using the Sonazoid microbubble contrast agent to diagnose three cases of hepatic angiomyolipoma, which is a rare benign tumor. Some characteristic findings are obtained in the early vascular phase, for example fork-like tumor vessels. However, a variety of findings are seen after the early vascular phase because of microbubbles circulating the vascular enriched tumor.
