Recent reports have elucidated the variety of tissue types that can react with HMB-45. Consistent positivity has been demonstrated in angiomyolipomas, but only in the smooth-muscle cells. In this report, we examine five renal angiomyolipomas and 20 mesenchymal lesions with similar morphological features and with a possibly similar histogenesis. These include one retroperitoneal lymphangioleiomyomatosis, five epithelioid leiomyomas, nine leiomyosarcomas with epithelioid features, and five alveolar soft part sarcomas. HMB-45 demonstrated a strong diffuse cytoplasmic positive reaction with the smooth-muscle component in all cases of renal angiomyolipoma and in the one case of lymphangioleiomyomatosis. All alveolar soft part sarcomas, leiomyomas, and leiomyosarcomas were uniformly negatively stained by this antibody. We discuss the widening spectrum of lesions that are reactive with HMB-45 and the relationship of angiomyolipoma and lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

Fully automated segmentation and classification of renal tumors on CT scans via machine learning.
BMC Cancer

Department of Urology, Seoul National University Hospital, 101 Daehak-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, 03080, South Korea.
Background: To develop and test the performance of a fully automated system for classifying renal tumor subtypes via deep machine learning for automated segmentation and classification.
Materials And Methods: The model was developed using computed tomography (CT) images of pathologically proven renal tumors collected from a prospective cohort at a medical center between March 2016 and December 2020. A total of 561 renal tumors were included: 233 clear cell renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), 82 papillary RCCs, 74 chromophobe RCCs, and 172 angiomyolipomas.
Higher Risk Renal Angiomyolipomas: Surveillance Remains a Safe Management Option.
Urol Pract
December 2024
Urology Service, Department of Surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York.
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.
