RARE ASSOCIATION OF RENAL ANGIOMYOLIPOMA AND ONCOCYTOMA

The association of renal angiomyolipoma and renal oncocytoma in the sa me kidney is rare, only 7 cases having been previously reported. We re port a 69-year-old woman affected by the simultaneous presence of rena l angiomyolipoma and oncocytoma in the right side with a decrease of r enal function on the left side due to a stenosis of the superior polar branch that was successfully treated preoperatively by angioplasty. A n enucleation of renal masses on the right side was performed with ren al function preservation after 2 years. (C) 1998, Elsevier Science Inc . All rights reserved.
