Figure 1. Magnetic ressonance with axial T1WI image in phases before contrast (A), arterial (B), Portal (C) and Equilibrium (D), showing a heterogenous nodule, hypervascularized, with peripheral progressive highlight due to contrast at the retroperitoneum, measuring 2.4x2.1cm.

Figure 2. Magnetic resonance images (ECO Gradient sequences GRE) T1W1 inside and outside of phase (A and B) and in T2 with and without fat suppression (C and D); they show sparse areas of signal loss corresponding to lipomatous foci.

A) triphasic tumor, including mature adipose tissue, blood vessels with thickened wall and smooth muscle cells; B) component of elongated smooth muscle cells irradiating from gibbous vessels walls, permeating adipose tissue; c) angiomiolipoma, interface between mature fat cells and smooth muscle cells without atypia.
