A case of angiomyol***ipoma of the kidney with the involvement of regional lymph nodes and adjacent adipose tissue is reported. Histology of the tumor was essentially benign in either location. During three years of follow‐up period, no recurrence or distant metastasis has appeared. It was considered that the tumor was benign and that the regional lymph node involvement probably represents a multicentric hamartomatous or choristomatous growth. In such an example, it is suggested that additional treatment such as radiation or chemotherapy should be avoided until a definitive evidence of distant metastasis is obtained. Acta pathol. jpn. 34: 889∼893, 1984.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
