Angiomyolipoma: computed tomographic-pathologic correlation of 17 cases

J L Sherman, D S Hartman, A C Friedman

    AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology
    |December 1, 1981

    Summary

    Angiomyolipomas are benign kidney tumors. CT scans effectively detect fat, hemorrhage, and perinephric extension, aiding diagnosis, though some tumors may mimic other renal masses.

    Area of Science:

    • Renal pathology
    • Medical imaging
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Angiomyolipomas are benign renal tumors comprising fat, smooth muscle, and abnormal vasculature.
    • These tumors can infiltrate the perinephric space and are prone to hemorrhage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To correlate computed tomography (CT) findings with pathological features in 17 angiomyolipoma cases.
    • To evaluate the utility of CT in diagnosing angiomyolipomas, including their complications and extent.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of CT scans from 17 patients with pathologically confirmed angiomyolipomas.
    • Correlation of imaging findings (fat content, density variations, perinephric involvement, hemorrhage) with surgical or autopsy pathology.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • CT typically reveals large, fatty renal masses with interspersed areas of higher density, indicative of non-fatty components or hemorrhage.
    • CT demonstrated superior sensitivity compared to plain films for detecting intratumoral fat.
    • CT effectively identified perinephric extension and hemorrhage, crucial for assessing tumor complexity.

    Conclusions:

    • CT is a valuable tool for diagnosing renal angiomyolipomas, particularly in identifying characteristic fatty components and complications like hemorrhage.
    • However, angiomyolipomas predominantly composed of smooth muscle or obscured by hemorrhage may present CT appearances indistinguishable from malignant renal tumors.
