title: Renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma associated with hyperprolactinemia.
abstract: We report a unique case of a 42-year-old woman with a renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma associated with elevated serum prolactin levels and presenting with galactorrhea. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed no pituitary abnormality, and abdominal imaging demonstrated a large right renal mass. Pathologic analysis of the radical nephrectomy specimen revealed an epithelioid angiomyolipoma. She had an uneventful postoperative recovery with complete normalization of her serum prolactin level and resolution of galactorrhea. To our knowledge, the association between epithelioid angiomyolipoma and hyperprolactinemia has never before been reported.
