Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Renal angiomyolipomas are benign tumors typically presenting without significant complications.
  • Vascular invasion or extension into major venous structures is an exceptionally rare occurrence.

Observation:

  • A female patient presented with flank pain, leading to the discovery of an 8 cm abdominal mass.
  • Imaging revealed a renal tumor with extension into the inferior vena cava, suggestive of a tumor thrombus.

Findings:

  • Histological examination post-nephrectomy confirmed the diagnosis of renal angiomyolipoma.
  • This represents the 11th reported case of renal angiomyolipoma involving the inferior vena cava.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of thorough imaging and differential diagnosis in flank pain presentations.
