Abstract

Objective: To demonstrate the clinical spectrum and challenges associated with clinical management of epitheloid angiomyolipomas (eAML). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the surgical database of a high-volume tertiary kidney cancer center from 2015 to 2020 to identify cases with a final histological diagnosis of eAML. Descriptive analysis of all cases was conducted. Results: Five surgical cases of eAMLs were identified. Two of which have had no tumor recurrence since surgery, and three patients passed away due to disease progression. Conclusion: eAML are rare renal tumors which the World Health Organisation (5th Edition, 2022) and International Classification of Diseases for Oncology classify as having unspecified, borderline, or uncertain behavior. Here, we report that can also demonstrate aggressive behavior with fatal consequences. Post-operative follow-up should be recommended for all, with shorter intervals for patients with poor prognostic factors.
