ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To summarize the clinical and computed tomographic(CT) findings of tuberous sclerosis(TS) associated with hepatic and renal angiomyolipomas.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and CT findings of 7 TS patients with hepatic and renal angiomyolipomas.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Brain CT showed calcified nodules and/or the uncalcified nodule in the lateral ventricle subependymal in 7 patients. Abdominal CT showed bilateral renal angiomyolipomas in 7 cases and hepatic angiomyolipomas in 2 cases. Chest CT showed lymphangioleiomyomatosis in one case.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>TS associated with merger hepatic and/or renal angiomyolipomas have typical CT findings. Liver angiomyolipomas shows certain correlation with bilateral renal angiomyolipomas.</p>
