This paper summarized the clinical,radiological and pathological features of HAML.Methods: Seventeen cases of HAML were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were subjected to surgicalresection of tumor, one of which was performed emergency surgery because of hemorrhage of tumor.Results: There are 13 females and 4 males, most of whom were asymptotic except 4 had minimalabdominal discomfort. US, CT and/or MRI were taken and corresponding data was comprehensivelyanalyzed with other clinical signs and symptoms. Correct preoperative diagnosis was able to be achievedin 9 patients. Pathological analysis and immunohistochemistry of HMB-45 was used as final diagnosis. Allpatients were followed up and survived without recurrence.Conclusions: Preoperative diagnosis of HAML can be benefited from comprehensive analysis of clinicalmanifestations. The malignant potential and fast growth of tumor suggested surgical removal of tumor whileit was diagnosed.
