Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the diagnosis and trea tm ent of bilateral renal angiomyolipomas.MethodsThe clin ic data of 13 cases of bilateral renal angiomyolipoms were reviewed.There were 2 male and 11 female patients with an average age of 42.Preoperative ultrasonogra phy and CT scanning have been undertaken in all.Renal angiomyolipoma was diagnos ed in 11 and cancer nodules could not be ruled out in the other 2.Unilateral and bilateral renal sparing surgerys were carried out in 5 and 8 cases respectively .ResultsAll cases were examined with rapid frozen sect ion analysis at operations.The renal function of all the patients except 1 was n ormal after operation except 1 with a temporary rise in Scr (350 ?mol/L).The pa tients have been followed up 1 to 4 years after discharging from hospital and th e renal function became normal in all.No recurrence was found.Conc lusionsUltrasonography and CT are important methods to diagnose ang iomyolipoma with specific manifestations.Rapid frozen section analysis at operat ions is helpful to diagnose and to choose the correct surgical technique.Attenti on should be paid to reserve the renal tissues as much as possible and renal fun ction should be protected properly.
