Angiomyolipoma is a common benign tumor in the kidney. Previous publication reported that renal angiomyolipoma had very low to low uptake of 18F-FDG. We report a case of pathologically proven angiomyolipoma in the left kidney with intense 18F-FDG and 18F-ALF-NOTA-FAPI uptake.

Purpose: This retrospective study furthers our understanding of risk factors associated with hemorrhage and intervention in renal angiomyolipomas (R-AMLs), particularly in larger tumors (≥ 4 cm) and in childbearing-age (CBA; younger than 50 years) women. The objective was to refine risk stratification and optimize patient management.

Methods: Review of our institutional database identified patients with radiographic R-AML from 1997 to 2023.

This case report presents markedly different clinical and radiological manifestations of the same disease in a family over three consecutive generations with varying treatment strategies. The index case/proband primarily presented with gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhoea, bleeding per rectum and seizures. Further evaluation revealed bilateral renal angiomyolipoma and cerebral subependymal nodules, in conjunction with facial adenoma sebaceum, periungual fibromas and hypomelanotic ash-leaf macules.

Objective: To analyze clinical and radiological features and trends in the management pattern of renal angiomyolipomas (AML) in a tertiary care center over a 30-year period.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients referred to our institutions from 1992 to 2022 with final diagnosis of AML. Demographics, clinical presentation, radiological findings, renal function status, and treatment options were recorded.

Gamna-Gandy (GG) bodies are sclerosiderotic nodules composed of iron pigment and calcium, that have been described predominantly in the spleens of patients with sickle cell disease. Their formal depiction in the kidney is mainly limited to case reports and small series. We aimed to investigate the incidence of GG bodies and associated clinicopathologic features in consecutive nephrectomies performed for renal tumors.

Objective: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a monogenetic disorder associated with sustained mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation, leading to heterogeneous clinical manifestations. Epilepsy and renal angiomyolipoma are the most important causes of morbidity in adult people with TSC (pwTSC). mTOR is a key player in inflammation, which in turn could influence TSC-related clinical manifestations.
