We report 6 cases of renal angiomyolipomas and review the pertinent literature concerning this disease. One case involved the rare association of tuberous sclerosis and pregnancy. Another patient without tuberous sclerosis had renal cell carcinoma and later suffered a contralateral angiomyolipoma. The pathological conditions of renal angiomyolipomas with and without tuberous sclerosis are discussed. Since angiomyolipomas present with multiple clinical similarities to renal cell carcinoma, the primary task for the clinician is to differentiate this hamartoma from carcinoma. The distinguishing characteristics and the clinical management of renal angiomyolipomas are discussed. |
