Source abstract
UNLABELLED: Renal angiomyolipoma is an uncommon benign tumor that mostly affects adults and is highly associated with tuberous sclerosis. It's very uncommon for it to affect adolescents. In this case, a 17-year-old male with abdominal pain and distension was diagnosed with sporadic giant renal angiomyolipoma. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis after a successful nephrectomy. Though rare in teenagers, giant renal angiomyolipoma can be managed with surgery. Histopathology is a mainstay of confirming the diagnosis. CONCLUSION: This case highlights the difficulties in managing big retroperitoneal tumors in teenagers and the necessity of taking sporadic angiomyolipoma into account when making a differential diagnosis.
