“…The suspected diagnosis of a 13-mm angiomyolipoma could have been adequately resolved with an unenhanced CT scan or with an MRI scan. In fact, both techniques are highly accurate in identifying adipose tissue, which in this type of hamartoma is the most prevalent tissue type [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Therefore, both the US and the CT urography studies were inappropriate.…”

“…The term "appropriateness" (in Italian appropriatezza) is becoming familiar to healthcare workers, partly because, in a number of ways, it is one of the key concepts underlying the Italian National Healthcare Plan. The term entered the Italian language from English and encompasses a series of behaviours to be [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Pertanto sia l'ecografia che l'uro-TC non erano indagini appropriate.…”

Renal angiomyolipoma is a uncommon benign tumor, considered an hamartoma. The lesion, usually benign, can be single or multiple and well-circumscribed. In letterature only few cases of infiltrating angiomyolipomas have been described. The aim of the paper is to describe a paradigmatic case of a giant kidney angiomyolipoma, not associated with tuberous sclerosis, invading the pelvis and the renal vein. The lesion have been discovered incidentally during abdominal ultrasound for other pathology. Owing to the extent of the lesion and the appreciable risk of bleeding, we opted for surgical treatment.

“…The majority of angiomyolipomas are sporadic (80 %) and are typically identified in adults; the remaining 20 % are syndromic. They can usually have characteristic imaging appearances [9][10][11][12].…”
