Extrarenal angiomyolipoma, rare benign lung tumors, were identified in a 63-year-old woman. This case highlights a rare instance of pulmonary angiomyolipoma, offering insights into these unusual thoracic lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Extrarenal angiomyolipomas are uncommon benign tumors typically found outside the kidney.
  • Thoracic involvement, particularly in the lung, is exceptionally rare for these lesions.

Observation:

  • A 63-year-old woman presented with a pulmonary lesion.
  • The patient had no prior diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis or lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
  • Clinical, radiographic, and pathological evaluations were performed.

Findings:

  • A diagnosis of pulmonary angiomyolipoma was established.
  • This represents a rare occurrence of angiomyolipoma within the lung parenchyma.
  • The lesion was confirmed as benign.

Implications:
