Abstract
|
|
|
|
Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign tumor that is composed of adipose tissue, blood vessels and smooth muscle. The kidney is the most commonly affected organ. The incidence of AML is about 0.3-3% in the general population. AML is sometimes associated with tuberous sclerosis. Although rare, extrarenal AML has been reported to occur in other organs such as the liver, heart & mediastinum, spermatic cord, vaginal wall, and oral cavity. Primary AML in the pelvic region has very rarely been reported in the literature. Moreover, AML containing calcification is even rarer. A 61-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a mass in the lower abdomen for 3 months. Open surgical excision was performed and the histopathological examination revealed AML. A one year postoperative follow-up showed no remarkable findings.
