title: Invasive Epithelioid Angiomyolipoma with Tumor Thrombus in the Inferior Vena Cava: A Case Report and Literature Review.
abstract: Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign tumor. However, rare cases of renal AML demonstrate aggressive behaviors such as tumor thrombus extension into the inferior vena cava (IVC). We successfully treated a case of epithelioid AML in the right kidney involving the IVC. We also reviewed and analyzed 45 case reports of the common type of AML. Radiologists and clinicians should know that epithelioid AML can be an aggressive tumor.
