Popis: BACKGROUND Renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) is a rare and potentially malignant mesenchymal lesion mainly composed of epithelioid cells. Although some case reports or small case series have been published, the computed tomography (CT) manifestations and radiologic-pathologic correlation depending on different epithelioid component percentages have not been studied before. OBJECTIVE To investigate the CT manifestation and radiologic-pathologic correlation between renal EAML and angiomyolipoma (AML) with epithelioid component. METHODS The clinicopathologic and imaging data of 53 patients with an original diagnosis of EAML or AML with epithelioid component were retrospectively collected from three hospitals. All tissue specimens were re-sectioned and re-observed under the microscope. Samples were divided into an EAML group (≥ 80% epithelioid component, n = 25) and AML with epithelioid component group (5% ≤ epithelioid component
