Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Bilateral renal angiomyolipomas are uncommon, frequently associated with tuberous sclerosis.
  • This condition predominantly affects females, with a mean age of 34.6 years in reported cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on five cases of bilateral renal angiomyolipoma.
  • To discuss diagnostic modalities, surgical interventions, and long-term surveillance outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of five female patients with bilateral renal angiomyolipoma.
  • Utilized ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) for preoperative diagnosis.
  • Surgical management included total and partial nephrectomy; asymptomatic lesions were monitored.

Main Results:

  • Most patients presented with unilateral symptoms like flank pain and mass.
  • Preoperative diagnosis was achieved in 60% of cases with advanced imaging (ultrasonography and CT).
  • Two patients experienced contralateral lesion growth, necessitating further partial nephrectomy; all patients survived post-operatively.

Conclusions:

  • Bilateral renal angiomyolipomas require careful surgical planning and long-term surveillance.
  • Advanced imaging like CT significantly improves preoperative diagnosis rates.
  • Surgical intervention and surveillance can lead to favorable long-term outcomes.
