  • Title: Nephron-sparing nephrectomy for giant renal angiomyolipoma associated with lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
    Author: Hsu TH, O'Hara J, Mehta A, Levitin A, Klein EA.
    Journal: Urology; 2002 Jan; 59(1):138. PubMed ID: 11796307.
    Abstract:
    Renal angiomyolipomas are benign tumors known to occur sporadically and in association with genetic syndromes, including tuberous sclerosis and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Surgical removal or radiographic embolization of angiomyolipomas larger than 4 cm is usually indicated because of an increased risk of spontaneous hemorrhage. We describe successful nephron-sparing surgery for a giant angiomyolipoma and discuss relevant management issues in a patient with lymphangioleiomyomatosis who had previously undergone bilateral pulmonary transplantation.
