    Abstract:
    Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign mesenchymal tumor predominantly occurring in the kidney. Despite its low incidence of 0.07-0.03% in an unselected population, this tumor is well known, because the typical AML can be diagnosed without histological confirmation by a combination of ultrasound (US) and computerized tomography (CT) imaging in up to 95% of cases. In contrast, simultaneous involvement of the kidney and the regional lymph nodes is less known and might be confused with metastasizing malignant tumor. We report a case of the very uncommon simultaneous involvement of the kidney and the lymph nodes in AML.
