Characteristic Enhancement Patterns of Renal Epithelioid Angiomyolipoma: a case report and literature review

摘要

We present a case of renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma in a 42-year-old woman with diabetic nephropathy for two years. Ultrasonography revealed a right renal mass in the patient. Further imaging could not confirm the nature of the mass, which grew noticeably over the course of 4 months. The mass was treated with right radical nephrec-tomy and diagnosed as renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma. Characteristic enhancement patterns of renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma were observed and supported by a review of the literature.
