Renal angiomyolipoma with liposarcomatous transformation: a case report and review of the literature

Urol Oncol. 2004 Sep-Oct;22(5):425-7. doi: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2003.11.013.

Abstract

Renal angiomyolipoma is generally benign, although an uncommon subtype (epithelioid angiomyolipoma) may behave more aggressively. Sarcomatous transformation of the disease is exceedingly rare. We report the first case of a high grade round cell liposarcoma arising in a renal angiomyolipoma.
