Multiloculated Cystic Type Renal Epithelioid Angiomyolipoma Mimicking Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report.

Renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) is a rare variant of angiomyolipoma (AML), with a prominent epithelioid component. EAML usually presents as a large heterogeneous soft tissue lesion with intratumoral hemorrhage and variable necrosis or cystic changes. We present a case of multiloculated cystic renal EAML mimicking renal cell carcinoma in a 64-year-old female. Intracystic massive hemorrhage, hyperattenuating wall and septa on an unenhanced study, and enlarged intratumoral vessels can be helpful imaging features for distinguishing renal EAML from renal cell carcinoma.
