Ca. Constantinides et al., ANGIOMYOLIPOMA OF THE LEFT URETEROVESICAL JUNCTION ASSOCIATED WITH IPSILATERAL RENAL AGENESIS, The Journal of urology, 153(6), 1995, pp. 1897-1898
To our knowledge we report the first case of retroperitoneal angiomyol
ipoma located at the left ureterovesical junction associated with ipsi
lateral renal agenesis. Radiologically, the mass had the characteristi
cs of a cystic soft tissue tumor. Final diagnosis was determined by hi
stopathological examination, which revealed the specific characteristi
cs of angiomyolipoma. The tumor is theorized to be a result of develop
mental malformation of fetal mesenchymal elements along the ureteral b
ud during fetal development since it was associated with ipsilateral r
enal agenesis.
