Giant aneurysm formation in sporadic renal angiomyolipoma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Angiomyolipomas are the most common mesenchymal renal neoplasms. Two types have been described: (i) sporadic angiomyolipoma and (ii) angiomyolipoma associated with tuberous sclerosis. Giant aneurysm formation is usually noted in angiomyolipomas associated with tuberous sclerosis and is rare in sporadic variety. Tumor diameter and aneurysm diameter have been used as predictors of rupture. We report a rare case of aneurysm formation in a sporadic angiomyolipoma.

Aneurysm in a Large Sporadic Renal Angiomyolipoma.
Angiomyolipomas (AMLs) are the most common mesenchymal renal neoplasms and are classified as neoplasms of perivascular epithelioid cells (PEComa). AML is usually a benign neoplasm arising most often in the kidney although it has been described in a wide variety of sites. Most patients are adults, and one-third suffer from tuberous sclerosis. We describe a case of renal AML in a 54-year-old Bahr...

OBJECTIVES We examined the long-term effects of everolimus in patients with renal angiomyolipoma associated with tuberous sclerosis complex or sporadic lymphangioleiomyomatosis. METHODS Following favorable results from the double-blind core phase of EXIST-2 (NCT00790400), patients were allowed to receive open-label everolimus (extension phase). Patients initially randomly assigned to everolim...

Introduction. Angiomyolipomas are the most common benign tumor of the kidney, associated with Tuberous Sclerosis in 20% of cases and arising sporadically in 80% of cases. Renal angiomyolipomas are neoplasms of mesenchymal origin with varying proportions of vasculature, smooth muscle spindle cells, and adipocytes, making management of such neoplasms a challenging endeavor. Possible management op...

Angiomyolipoma an uncommon benign neoplasm of the kidney is a triphasic tumour composed of angiomatous, smooth muscle and adipose tissue elements. They are usually associated with Tuberous sclerosis and commonly bilateral in presentation .Angiomyolipoma is often asymptomatic and is dedected incidentally in radiological studies and during autopsies.

متن کاملEmbolization of Spontaneous Intratumoral Hemorrhage with the Hemodynamic Characteristics of Arteriovenous Fistula in Renal Angiomyolipoma
Aneurysms within renal angiomyolipomas (AML) may rupture into the tumor or pararenal space. Transcatheter arterial embolization is the first-choice treatment to control bleeding. Here, we describe the use of coil embolization in two cases of spontaneous intratumoral hemorrhage with the hemodynamic characteristics of renal arteriovenous (AV) fistula in renal AML. In case 1, renal angiography sho...
