Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign renal tumor usually found incidentally. Rarely, AML can present with renal colic due to urinary tract obstruction. Prior cases of obstructing AML have been presented and managed successfully with surgical removal. Selective angioembolization has emerged as an alternative management strategy for AML, but no documented cases have been presented for this strategy in the setting of obstruction. Here, we present a case of obstructing AML treated with selective angioembolization with subsequent resolution of obstruction.
血管平滑肌脂肪瘤(AML)是一种通常偶然发现的良性肾肿瘤。很少见的是,AML可因尿路梗阻而出现肾绞痛。先前有梗阻性AML的病例已被报道,并通过手术切除成功治疗。选择性血管栓塞已成为AML的一种替代治疗策略,但在梗阻情况下,尚无该策略的文献报道病例。在此,我们报告一例通过选择性血管栓塞治疗的梗阻性AML病例,随后梗阻得以缓解。
