Aim: The association between renal carcinoma and angiomyolipoma is rare. Only 14 cases have been reported in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to present an additional case and review the literature on this association. Patient and methods: A healthy 42 year old woman was found to have a left flank mass incidentally when she presented for a Papanicolaou smear. The computerised tomogr...

Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma (HEAML) is an extremely rare primary hepatic tumor which is easily misdiagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma or other tumors before surgery. It is a special kind of angiomyolipoma that is rarely reported in the liver. Patients with HEAML may recurrence or metastasis after surgery. The research on prognosis of the disease is poor due to its malignant potential. ...

Angiomyolipoma is an uncommon benign tumour (hamartsoma) composed of mature or immature fat, thickwalled blood vessels and smooth muscle elements in varying proportions. It is typically found in the young and inpatients with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). We present a case of a 55-year old woman who has no TSC. A 55-year old post-menopausal house wife referred a peripheral hospital with subt...

Retroperitoneal extrarenal angiomyolipoma (RERAML) are rare and close mimickers of retroperitoneal liposarcoma on both imaging and histopathology. However, imaging findings including heterogeneity, hyperdensity on unenhanced computed tomography, intralesional hemorrhage, absence of calcifications, low signal intensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, and dilated intratumoral vessels c...

We present the case of a 55-year-old patient with a history of chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation because of acute myeloid leukaemia. An incidental 4 × 3 cm measuring renal mass was detected while performing a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for lumbago. The lesion was suspected to be either a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) or a leukemic infiltration. To decide about further treatment a ...
