  • Title: Giant renal angiomyolipoma with an uncommon growth pattern: a case report.
    Author: Gohji K, Gotoh A, Kamidono S.
    Journal: Hinyokika Kiyo; 1990 Jul; 36(7):837-40. PubMed ID: 2239583.
    Abstract:
    A case of a giant renal angiomyolipoma with uncommon growth pattern in a 66-year-old female is reported. The tumor originated from the upper pole of the left kidney and simultaneously grew posteriorly in a sheet-like fashion while a spheroid mass projected upwards. With magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the relationship between the tumor and adjacent organs was clear. Tumorectomy employing cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator (CUSA) was performed, and proved to be a safe and simple procedure. There has been no recurrence of the growth 2 years post-operatively.
