Angiomyolipoma with epithelial cysts (AMLEC) is a recently described entity and is an uncommon subtype of kidney angiomyolipomas. AMLEC is a benign entity but usually masquerades a renal cell carcinoma on imaging examination. AMLEC has a distinct histological and immunohistochemical staining pattern, which helps in the pathological diagnosis. We present a rare case of AMLEC in a 26-year-old female, which was provisionally diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma on radiology. We also summarize the differential diagnosis of this rare variant, its characteristic features, and a review of the literature.
伴上皮样囊肿的血管平滑肌脂肪瘤(AMLEC)是一种最近才被描述的疾病实体,是肾血管平滑肌脂肪瘤的一种罕见亚型。AMLEC是一种良性病变,但在影像学检查中通常表现为肾细胞癌。AMLEC具有独特的组织学和免疫组化染色模式,有助于病理诊断。我们报告一例26岁女性的罕见AMLEC病例,该病例在放射学上初步诊断为肾细胞癌。我们还总结了这种罕见变异型的鉴别诊断、其特征以及文献综述。
