Renal Angiomyolipoma With Caval Extension and Pulmonary Fat Embolism

Abstract: Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare benign tumor of the kidney. Occasionally, it may extend into the renal vein or the inferior vena cava (IVC), but so far of pulmonary embolism in patients with renal AML was rarely reported. Here, a case of symptomatic pulmonary embolism secondary to AML that was placed IVC filter before the operation and then treated with radical nephrectomy is reported.This case highlights the rare possibility of renal vein and IVC involvement with symptomatic pulmonary fat embolism in ren… Show more

“…(►Figura 2) El resultado anatomopatológico fue compatible con angiomiolipoma clásico de predominio adiposo, con invasión de vena renal y vena cava, siendo el trombo analizado compatible con angiomiolipoma. (►Figura 3) a blood test, with an ultrasonography that showed a venous thrombus without any renal mass, being diagnosed after giving birth by scanner. Having in account the possibility of malignancy of the mass, we performed surgical treatment by open radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy, without intraoperative nor postoperative incidences.…”

“…El angiomiolipoma (AML) es un tumor benigno del mesénquima renal formado por tejido adiposo, vascular y músculo liso. [1][2][3] Es poco frecuente, generalmente asintomático aunque potencialmente peligroso ya que su mayor complicación es el sangrado retroperitoneal por rotura espontánea cuando su tamaño supera los 4cm. Aunque se consideran de naturaleza benigna y habitualmente se localizan en el parénquima renal, se han descrito casos de AML clásicos localmente invasivos con afectación de seno renal, grasa perirrenal e incluso vena renal con posibilidad de extensión a cava inferior, habiéndose descrito aproximadamente 50 casos desde que en 1982 Kutcher describiera el primero.…”

“…Upper tract urothelial cell carcinoma has been reported to extend into the renal veins; however, this is an unusual finding (65). Renal angiomyolipomas, while histologically benign, can extend into the renal veins and IVC-albeit rarely-and result in a pulmonary embolism (66). Rarely, renal oncocytoma demonstrates intravascular extension that mimics that of renal cell carcinoma (67).…”
