  • Title: [Bilateral renal angiomyolipomas with a thrombus in the inferior caval vein. Rare growth pattern of a benign tumor].
    Author: Bierer S, Wülfing C, Bode ME, Pühse G, Brinkmann OA, Hertle L.
    Journal: Urologe A; 2005 Dec; 44(12):1469-72. PubMed ID: 16133230.
    Abstract:
    Renal angiomyolipomas are mesenchymal tumors that are composed of fat tissue, smooth muscle cells and vessels. These are benign tumors, but in rare cases they show a more aggressive growth pattern with invasion into the venous system but without revealing any signs of malignancy. We report a new case of bilateral renal angiomyolipomas with a caval thrombus in a 36 year old female patient with tuberous sclerosis, and give a brief review of the related literature.
