Abstract
Renal angiomyolipoma is an uncommon benign tumour characterized by a variable mixture of adipose tissue, smooth muscle and thickened blood vessels and hence the name. We here in, present a case of renal angiomyolipoma in a 60 years old female patient presenting with flank pain and swelling. Clinico-radiological evaluation suggested a mass lesion arising from kidney. Nephrectomy was carried out. The histological examination revealed admixture of spindle cells & adipose tissue along with thick walled blood vessels. The case was diagnosed as Angiomyolipoma of right kidney and the patient was followed up closely.
Keywords: renal angiomyolipomas, nephrectomy, PEComas ,mesenchymal, benign tumour.
