Abstract

During the last 9 years, 6 patients of renal angiomyolipoma were managed at Catholic University Medical College. All were unilateral and were not associated with tuberous sclerosis. Preoperative diagnosis were hypernephroma (4), angiomyolipoma and renal stone. All patients were treated with nephrectomy. 17 patients were reported in Korean literature previously. In the review of the 26 cases (23 pts.), 16 cases were diagnosed as angiomyolipoma preoperatively and other as hypernephroma(9) and renal stone(1). Almost all cases(22) were managed with nephrectomy and only 4 cases were managed with conservative treatment (arterial embolization or observation).
