  • Title: Parasitic lumbar arterial blood supply in renal angiomyolipoma.
    Author: Hyman RA, Bluestone P, Waldbaum RS, Naidich JB, Susin M.
    Journal: Urology; 1976 Dec; 8(6):629-33. PubMed ID: 997061.
    Abstract:
    A young woman with azotemia was found to have an angiomyolipoma which had parasitic blood supply from a lumbar artery. Parasitic lumbar arterial blood supply from a lumbar artery. Parasitic lumbar arterial blood supply has previously been considered a strong indication of malignancy. Since this benign lesion had not invaded the adjacent retroperitoneal structures, the phenomenon tends to confirm the postulate that parasitic blood supply to a lesion may occur through hypertrophy of small anastomotic channels normally present between adjacent vessels but not normally seen in angiography.
