Abstract

Angiomyolipomas are benign tumors consisting of smooth muscles, vessels, and fat tissue. They are generally located on the kidneys; extrarenal angiomyolipoma is rare. Apart from the kidneys, angiomyolipomas are seldom located in the retroperitoneal area. Moreover, it is quite difficult to diagnose angiomyolipomas located in the retroperitoneal area. Due to the low amount of fat, negative density may not be identified by computed tomography (CT). The purpose of this report was to discuss the case of a retroperitoneal angiomyolipoma that clinically resembles a surrenal tumor and cannot be clearly discriminated from surrenal tissue on CT

Özet

Anjiyomiyolipomlar düz kas, damar ve yağ dokusundan oluşan benign tümörlerdir. Genellikle böbreğe yerleşirler, ekstrarenal anjiyomiyolipom nadir görülür. Anjiyomiyolipomun böbrek dışında retroperitoneal bölgeye yerleşimine oldukça az rastlanır. Retroperitoneal bölgeye yerleşen anjiyomiyolipomlara tanı koymak oldukça zordur. Yağ miktarının az olması nedeniyle bilgisayarlı tomografide (BT) negatif dansite saptanmayabilir. Bu olgu sunumumuzda klinik belirtileri sürrenal tümörü andıran ve BT'de sürrenal dokusuyla net ayrımı yapılamayan retroperitoneal anjiyomiyolipom olgusunu tartışmayı amaçladık
