However, minimal fat AML with lymph node involvement is extremely rare and difficult to differentiate from RCC on images. We report such a case and review the literature.

Sporadic multiple renal angiomyolipoma with lymph node involvement: a case report and literature review

“…We searched English-language articles in the Medline database using the key words “kidney” or “renal,” “angiomyolipoma” or “hamartoma” and “lymph node.” Twenty-two papers were found. Based on the full text of the articles rather than only the abstracts, 16 papers and 25 cases were found to be relevant 4 – 19 ( Table 1 ). Busch et al.…”

Based on the full text of the articles rather than only the abstracts, 16 papers and 25 cases were found to be relevant [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] (Table 1). Busch et al 4 reported the first two cases of benign renal AML with regional lymph node involvement in 1976.…”
