Abstract:
Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare type of renal tumor. It consists of blood vessels, smooth muscle components, and mature adipose tissue. We report a rare case of giant renal angiomyolipoma in 36 years old male who had two months of intermittent mild abdominal pain. Computed tomography showed a right renal mass with 35 cm in diameter. The mass was removed by surgery successfully. The patient had a good health course after surgery.

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs in the human body that play a critical role in maintaining overall health. They filter out waste products from the blood, regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and stimulate the production of red blood cells.
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space on either side of the vertebral column, protected posteriorly by the 11th and 12th ribs. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left owing to the presence of the liver...

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...
