Abstract:
Renal angiomyolipoma associated with regional lymph node involvement has been reported in the literature. This condition is not considered to be a sign of malignancy due to the absence of disease progression or tumor invasion. We report a case of a large renal angiomyolipoma in a 34 year-old female patient who was submitted to left radical nephrectomy and regional lymphadenectomy. Two nodes revealed angiomyolipomatous growth.
