The coronal sectional image of computerized tomography creates an image that is similar to an excretory urogram. It also provides more clearly delineated renal image and image of adjacent organs than an excretory urogram. Further more, the number, extent, and content of renal mats lesions used to discriminate density difference can be determined with relatively great accuracy. This image of computerized tomography is useful to understand and make a diagnosis of renal disease. Coronal sectional image of computerized tomography is more informative in evaluation of retroperitoneum space than conventional radiography. Recently we observed several cases of renal disease-renal cell ca, simple renal cyst, angiomyolipoma, retroperitoneal teratoma, pheochromocytoma, hydronephrosis which could be detected with coronal sectional image of computerized tomography.

During the last 9 years, 6 patients of renal angiomyolipoma were managed at Catholic University Medical College. All were unilateral and were not associated with tuberous sclerosis. Preoperative diagnosis were hypernephroma (4), angiomyolipoma and renal stone. All patients were treated with nephrectomy. 17 patients were reported in Korean literature previously. In the review of the 26 cases (23 pts.), 16 cases were diagnosed as angiomyolipoma preoperatively and other as hypernephroma(9) and renal stone(1). Almost all cases(22) were managed with nephrectomy and only 4 cases were managed with conservative treatment (arterial embolization or observation).

A myolipoma is an extremely rare benign neoplasm, occurring most frequently in adults in the deep soft tissue of the abdomen or retroperitoneum. We experienced a case of an anal myolipoma occurring in a 30-year-old woman, and it was surgically resected. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a myolipoma arising from the anus, so such a possibility needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis.

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.

One case of renal angiomyolipoma is reported in a 33 year-old house wife with right flank mass and pain, who was non-tuberous sclerosis, patient Diagnosis was made postoperately. This rare lesion posed a difficult differentiation from renal cell carcinoma. On the histologic examination, our case was found type 1 according to Smith's classification. The clinical, radiological and pathologic features are discussed.

Angiomyxolipoma is a rare variant of lipoma and seven cases have been reported in the English literature. The reported cases mostly presented with a well-demarcated, asymptomatic, solitary, subcutaneous mass on the scalp or extremities. Histopathologic features of this tumor are characteristic and consist of the paucicellular myxoid areas and the mature fat tissue, with numerous thin, dilated blood vessels. The important histopathological differential diagnoses include myxoid spindle cell lipoma, myxoid lipoma, angiolipoma, angiomyolipoma, superficial angiomyxoma, myxoid liposarcoma and low-grade myxofibrosarcoma. We describe a 38-year-old man with multiple angiomyxolipoma on the gluteal area and the upper and lower extremities.

An angiomyolipoma of the kidney is a benign tumor composed of tissues normally present in an organ but abnormal in quantity, arrangement or degree of maturation. Neither laboratory nor clinical findings provide enough material to diagnose angiomyolipomas so it is very difficult to make correct presurgical diagnosis. A 51 year old housewife was admitted with chief complain of right flank pain and palpable mass for a week duration After urologic and radiologic studies, a presumptive diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma was made and operation was performed. On histologic examination of the removed kidney, it turned out as a angiomyolipoma of the kidney. So we report this case with review of literatures.

Renal angiomyolipoma is a sort of benign tumor of the kidney, which is composed of blood vessel, fat tissue and smooth muscle. Its occurrence is uncommon, and its diagnosis had been difficult, because its radiographic and clinical features are similar with renal cell carcinoma. But recently the ultrasonographic and computed tomographic images of renal angiomyolipoma are sufficiently characteristic to permit accurate radiologic diagnosis. Herein we present a case of angiomyolipoma of the right kidney in 32 year old housewife, which has been preoperatively diagnosed with the computed tomography and ultrasonography, and managed with nephrectomy.
