Presentation
Read -Challenging case: Persistent ureteral stone in a 76-year-old male Here we present a patient who was found to have a small renal mass only after presenting with large-volume diffuse metastatic disease to the contralateral gluteal region causing obstructive [urologytimes.com]
This artificially created black line is located at the junction of fat (present in AML cells) and water (present in renal parenchyma) and results in a sharp delineation of the muscle-fat boundary (Figure 5). [jbsr.be]
The clinical manifestations of renal sinus tumors are nonspecific; a number of patients present with lumbago and a few patients present with hematuria and urinary tract infections (24–26). Symptoms present when the diameter of the tumor is >4 cm. [spandidos-publications.com]
We present the case of a 59-year-old male who presented with a symptomatic ureteral calculus and was found to have an intravascular lipoma of the right renal vein with extension into the IVC. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present a case of this tumor in a 2-year-old boy. Serial imaging studies revealed a tumor with high fat content arising from the right kidney. Radical nephrectomy was performed for tumor excision. [jpedsurg.org]
Neurologic
- Dizziness
Signs of shock, including confusion, rapid heart rate, dizziness, shallow breathing and pale skin. A note from Cleveland Clinic Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign (noncancerous) tumor in your kidney. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
Treatment
Management and Treatment How is renal angiomyolipoma treated? Renal angiomyolipoma treatment varies widely, from active surveillance to medication to surgical removal. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
A size threshold for treatment, however, remains controversial [2, 24, 25, 26]. [jbsr.be]

The treatment approaches, however, may be established by correlating the clinical symptoms, tumor size and nature. Preserving the kidney during surgery as far as possible is key for the treatment of patients with renal sinus tumors. [spandidos-publications.com]
Despite earlier detection and treatment of renal masses, the mortality for kidney cancer patients has not improved (J Natl Cancer Inst 2006; 98:1331–4). [urologytimes.com]
Prognosis
Outlook / Prognosis What can I expect if I have this condition? Renal angiomyolipomas are usually small, and they rarely become a major problem. But a very small proportion can become malignant (cancerous) or cause serious bleeding. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

The prognosis of renal sinus tumors is good. CT, MRI and IVU analysis have great value in orientation and qualitative diagnosis of renal sinus tumors. [spandidos-publications.com]
In contrast to the benign prognosis of classic renal AMLs, the epithelioid variant may undergo malignant transformation, although this is rare. This is manifested by local aggressiveness, including lymphadenopathy, and distal metastases. [jbsr.be]
Prevention
Prevention How can I reduce my risk of renal AML? There are no strategies to prevent the genetic mutations that lead to renal angiomyolipoma. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
At Vinmec International General Hospital, there is a package of urological examination and screening to help customers detect diseases early and have effective treatment and prevent dangerous complications. [vinmec.com]
Bravi et al2 describe a patient who developed a thrombotic complication owing to the occlusive effects of a lipoma preventing adequate venous return. [birpublications.org]
Therefore, accurate preoperative diagnosis of renal AMLs is critical to prevent unnecessary nephrectomies and preserve renal functions [4]. [jbsr.be]
It may be given to try to prevent cancer from coming back, eliminate any remaining cancer cells after other types of treatment or stop cancer cell growth. [bidmc.org]
