Abstract:
Angiomyolipoma is a rare benign tumor and approximately 20 to 50% of patients with the diagnosis of angiomyolipoma have some or all of the other stigma of tuberous sclerosis. Patients with tuberous sclerosis tend to be younger, more likely to have multifocal and bilateral disease. Angiomyolipoma which is not associated with tuberous sclerosis mostly affects middle aged women. According to literature data, angiomyolipoma is very rare in child and almost exclusively associated with tuberous sclerosis. We report a case of 14 year-old girl who has a renal angiomyolipoma without clinical evidence of tuberous sclerosis.
