Renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma with epithelial cysts: demonstration of Melan A and HMB45 positivity in the cystic epithelial lining.
Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) may present as rare variants such as epithelioid and AML with epithelial cysts posing difficulties for the diagnosis to the surgical pathologist. We report a case of a 46-year-old male patient presenting a 5-cm solid tumor in the lower pole of the left kidney, with cystic changes at cut surface. The tumor exhibited 95% of epithelioid cells with atypical nuclei. A smal...
متن کاملRenal angiomyolipoma with epithelial cysts: report of a rare cystic variant of angiomyolipoma and review of the literature
Angiomyolipoma with epithelial cysts (AMLEC), or cystic AML, is a recently characterized, distinctive cystic subtype of AML of the kidney. To date, less than two dozen of such case have been reported. Herein, we reported a prototypical case of AMLEC occurring in a 41-year-old female patient who presented with left low back pain for one month. Abdominal computed tomograph scan demonstrated a wel...

متن کاملAngiomyolipoma with epithelial cysts (AMLEC): a rare but distinct variant of angiomyolipoma
Angiomyolipoma with epithelial cysts (AMLEC) is a recently described distinct cystic variant of angiomyolipoma (AML). To date 15 cases of AMLEC have been reported in 2 case series. We report the 16th case in a 39-year-old female. Her left kidney tumor was discovered incidentally. Partial nephrectomy was performed. Histologically, the tumor was composed of three components: 1) epithelial cysts l...
متن کاملEvaluation of epithelial lining thickness responding to inflammatory infiltration in Radicular cyst , inflammatory dentigerous cysts and odontogenic keratocycts
Background and Aims: radicular cyct(RC), dentigerus cyct(DC) and odontogenic keratocyct(OKC) are the most common odontogenic cycts, respectively. Awareness of the clinical and histopathological characteristics of these lesions is very important in dental treatments, that inflammatory cell infiltration can play an important role in DC and OKCthese odontogenic cysts’ clinical presentationspathoge...
