ABSTRACT

PEComa or epitheliod angiomyolipoma is an uncommon neoplasia representing 0, 13 % of all tumors of the genitourinary system. The aim of this article is to report a case treated for PEComa and review the topic briefly. A 70-year-old female patient comes complaining of left lower back pain. Imaging studies confirm a left tumoral mass. A lumboscopic nephrectomy was performed. The histopathological and immunohistochemical studies confirmed the tumor; there has been no metastasis or recurrence after a three-year follow-up. Epithelial Angiomyolipoma is considered a variant of angiomyolipoma with malignant potential. Imaging studies are insufficient for diagnosis. The diagnosis of certainty is only obtained with immunohistochemistry.
