English abstract
Epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) is an uncommon renal neoplasm with malignant potential. It is classified under the group of perivascular epithelioid cell tumors and can be sporadic or as part of the tuberous sclerosis complex. On imaging, unlike classical AML that contains fat, EAML has a very low percentage of fat which can mimic the imaging findings of renal cell carcinoma. We reported a 31-year-old female who had a history of renal failure and bilateral renal masses. Magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen revealed bilateral large renal masses replacing renal parenchyma with features suggestive of bilateral renal AML. The patient underwent left nephrectomy, and histopathology examination findings were consistent with the diagnosis of EAML.
