Abstrakt: Exclusive reliance on radiographic techniques for the diagnosis of renal angiomyolipoma can lead to misdiagnosis when the histological status is atypical, computerized tomographic findings are equivocal or renal cell carcinoma coexists. We report our experience and those of others in combining fine needle aspiration biopsy and radiological imaging to identify renal angiomyolipoma. Fine needle aspiration biopsy is safe and provides accurate histological diagnosis of renal angiomyolipoma.
