Angiomyolipoma with epithelial cysts, an unexpected discovery in a gunshot abdomen: a single case report

Abstract Background Angiomyolipoma with epithelial cysts is a rare variant of an angiomyolipoma that typically occurs sporadically. Patients pre-existing kidney lesion or disease have significantly increased risk morbidity and mortality associated trauma. Abnormal diseased kidneys are frequently injured by low insignificant velocity impacts. The vulnerability these related to the type pathology. However, cystic hydronephrotic more susceptible Recent studies shown association this entity tuberous sclerosis complex. Despite rarity genetic sclerosis, emerging findings raise necessity testing lesions confirm remote possibility Case presentation We report case 38-year-old male patient who sustained right renal injury as result gunshot abdomen underwent emergency nephrectomy due hemodynamic instability. A grossly looking shattered was surgically removed. morphology in conjunction immunohistochemistry specimen favoured diagnosis cysts. Conclusion This first reported diagnosed on from aim highlight approach trauma AMLEC well adult neoplasms propose importance for Tuberous Sclerosis.
