Angiomyolipoma, abbreviated AML, is a benign mesenchymal tumour that is associated with tuberous sclerosis and belongs to the PEComa group of tumours.
It is typically found in the kidney; however, occasionally it is seen extrarenal.[1]
General
- Benign mesenchymal tumour.
- Presentations: flank pain, hematuria, incidentaloma.[2]
- Tumours >4 cm considered a risk for bleeding.[3]
- May bleed spontaneously (Wunderlich's syndrome).[4]
- AMLs occur may be elsewhere in the body, e.g. liver,[5] but are most common in the periadrenal and perirenal fat.
- In the PEComa group of tumours.
Epidemiology
- May be associated with tuberous sclerosis -- 70% have an AML.
- When compared to sporadic cases:
- More often bilateral.
- Usually bigger.
- Reported to often have estrogen and progesterone receptors - in the context of lymphangioleiomyomatosis.[6]
- When compared to sporadic cases:
- There is a suggestion that an epithelioid variant is more worrisome.[7]
- This is not confirmed by all studies.[8]
- More common in women than men - both in sporadic AMLs and those associated with tuberous sclerosis.[9]
Gross
- Well circumscribed - uniform yellow.
Note:
- Small resected AML are often fat poor.
- May resemble a renal cell carcinoma on gross.
Radiology:
- <=10 HU in an intermediate size tumour.[10]
Image:
Microscopic
Features:
- Smooth muscle.
- Adipose tissue - not always present[11] - key feature.
- Abundant blood vessels.
Notes:
- May have melanin pigment - occasionally extensive.[12][13]
- May involve lymph nodes - case reports.[14][15]
DDx:
- Retroperitoneal sarcoma.
- Renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation.
- Renal leiomyoma - very rare - desmin +ve, HMB-45 -ve.[16]

MASS OF LEFT KIDNEY, CORE BIOPSY: - COMPATIBLE WITH ANGIOMYOLIPOMA. COMMENT: The tumour stains as follows: POSITIVE: Melan A, HMB-45, desmin. NEGATIVE: CK (pooled).
Micro
The sections show a tumour composed of spindle cells in a fascicular arrangement with scant adipose tissue and prominent muscular blood vessels. Rare nuclear enlargement is seen. No significant nuclear atypia is appreciated. Mitotic activity is not apparent. No renal parenchyma is identified.
