Bilateral Renal Angiomyolipomas Giants
Journal Title: Urology and Andrology – Open Journal - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Renal angiomyolipoma is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm and is characterized by the presence of thin dysmorphic vessels, smooth muscle and adipose tissue. The incidence of renal angiomyolipoma is 0.1-0.3% and it can be presented as an isolated pathology or be associated with other entities, such as Tuberous Sclerosis (TS) or Bourneville’s disease, and Von Recklinghausen disease (VRD) or neurofibromatosis. We report a case of a female patient aged 22 with kidney angiolipomas giant associated with tuberous sclerosis, syndrome characterized by the formation of hamartomas and tumors in different organs of the body.
