Nephron-sparing Surgery without Angioembolization in Giant Angiomyolipoma: Is it Feasible?

Abstract: Öz Introduction Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign tumor composed of adipose tissue, abnormal blood vessels and smooth muscle. AML is usually diagnosed incidentally on ultrasound but symptoms may vary from flank pain, palpable flank mass and hematuria to life-threatening hemorrhage (52%-91%) especially in those larger than 4 cm. Giant AML is usually managed by transarterial embolization (TAE), partial nephrectomy or total nephrectomy as described in the literature. Our case represents the largest AML with … Show more

“…Furthermore, in 2018, Arya A et al documented a case of 35-year-old female patient with lesion measuring 40 cm × 20 cm × 15 cm in size and 7000 g in weight. This case with large AML of 40 cm was managed by nephron-sparing surgery without prior angioembolization [8]. The index case reported here had a tumor size of 21.5 cm × 16 cm × 14 cm , weighed 1330 g, and is not as large as in cases reported earlier.…”
