Bilateral renal angiomyolipoma with venous invasion: A case report

Abstract

Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare benign tumor of the kidney, often detected incidentally on radiological images as the presence of macroscopic fat characterizes them. In the majority of the cases, they are usually sporadic. Despite their benign nature, venous invasion, a rare occurrence in renal AMLs, poses management challenges. We present a case of bilateral renal AML in a 52-year-old female with a right renal vein and hepatic inferior vena cava invasion.
