title: [The angiographic and morphologic features of angiomyolipoma of the kidney (author's transl)].
abstract: The angiographic and morphologic findings of angiomyolipomas of the kidney are described in three patients. These benign tumours contain three types of vessel in addition to fat and smooth muscle. One vessel type is thick-walled with fibrosis of its walls and no internal elastic lamina. The second type consists of sinuses with considerable variations in calibre. The third type resembles capillaries and is found in the muscular parts of the tumour. Because of the abnormal structure of their walls, these vessels are easily damaged and may cause massive bleeding.
