title: Cystic Angiomyolipoma Mimicking Cystic Renal Cell Carcinoma on Computed Tomography Image.
abstract: We report on a 44-year-old male patient with cystic angiomyolipoma (AML) simulating cystic renal cell carcinoma on computed tomography (CT). The CT scan showed a 2.8-cm left renal cystic mass with an enhancing solid component. No fat density was identified in the mass. These findings were indicative of a cystic renal cell carcinoma. Robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was performed, but the final histologic result was a cystic AML. Herein, we would review the preoperative CT findings, which could have suggested cystic AML.
