• TITLE: Nephrectomy Avoided in a Patient with Lipid Poor Angiomylipoma with Radiological Features Suspicious for Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report

  ABSTRACT: Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign neoplasm that is easily mistaken for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) upon radiological investigation. The management of the two pathologies is significantly different, and so accurate diagnosis is vital. We report a case in which ultrasound guided biopsy saved the patient from an unnecessary nephrectomy when an AML had radiological appearances consistent with RCC. This case report also discusses the literature surrounding radiological features and novel imaging techniques of minimal-fat AML and RCC.
