ABSTRACT
Introduction: Renal angioleiomyoma is a very uncommon benign tumor and, invading the main renal vein,
even rarer. Objective: To describe the clinical, imaging and therapeutic characteristics, of a patient
diagnosed with renal angioleiomyoma. Case presentation: A 23‐ year‐ old patient with history of health.
He attended in the external consultation of Urology for having presented gross haematuria, with light left
flank pain. No history of previous trauma or other symptoms of any illness was recorded. The general
physical exam was normal and, in the urogenital apparatus, had left varicocele. Studies of blood analysis
were all normal, as was the general examination of urine. The abdominal ultrasound detected a 9 cm in
diameter tumor, in the middle and lower pole of the left kidney with cysts inside; the right kidney was
normal. The thorax‐ abdominal axial computerized tomography confirmed the tumoral lesion, which
enhanced with the contrast medium; not other intrabdominal and pleuropulmonary alterations were
found. Results: The left total nephrectomy was performed, by the anterior transperitoneal route, without
complications. The histopathological diagnosis was renal angioleiomyoma with tumoral thrombus in the
main renal vein; this was confirmed by inmunohystochemistry. The evolution of the patient has been
satisfactory. Conclusions: The detailed analysis of the three‐ phase axial computerized tomography
images, in the study of renal tumors, contributes to establish the differential imaging diagnosis of these,
especially in young patients without associated risk factors.
