[Isolated leiomyomatosis of the right renal vein associated with hepatic myelolipoma: diagnostic and therapeutic problems].
The authors report a case of isolated intravenous leiomyomatosis involving a vein of the right renal hilum associated with operated hepatic myelolipoma with a diagnosis of metastatic renal cancer. These tumours are very rare and are usually diagnosed on histological examination of the resection specimen. Although they have a benign histology, they have a very different prognosis and therapeutic management. Although the association of these two exceptional tumours may appear to be purely incidental, a common aetiological factor may nevertheless exist.
