Abstract:
We report the case of a female patient presenting with flank pain. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a tumor of 8 cm in diameter. After abdominal computerized tomography, the tumor was classified as angiomyolipoma with a tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava. After nephrectomy, the diagnosis was confirmed histologically. To our knowledge, this is the 11th case of a renal angiomyolipoma extending into the vena cava.
