Angiomyolipoma, abbreviated AML, is a benign mesenchymal tumour of the kidney that is associated with tuberous sclerosis and belongs to the PEComa group of tumours.
General
- Benign mesenchymal tumour.
- Presentations: flank pain, hematuria, incidentaloma.[1]
- Tumours >4 cm considered a risk for bleeding.[2]
- AMLs occur may be elsewhere in the body, e.g. liver,[3] but are most common in the kidney.
- In the PEComa group of tumours.
Epidemiology
- May be associated with tuberous sclerosis -- 70% have an AML.
- When compared to sporadic cases:
- More often bilateral.
- Usually bigger.
- When compared to sporadic cases:
- There is a suggestion that an epithelioid variant is more worrisome.[4]
- This is not confirmed by all studies.[5]
Microscopic
Features:
- Smooth muscle.
- Adipose tissue - not always present[6] - key feature.
- Abundant blood vessels.

Epithelioid angiomyolipoma
Features:
- Carcinoma-like morphology.
- +/-Spindle cells.
- "High grade" nuclei.
- Pleomorphic nuclei.
DDx:
- Clear cell renal cell carcinoma eosinophilic variant - esp. if epithelioid.
Images:
- Epithelioid AML (birjournals.org).
- Epithelioid AML (rsna.org).
- Atypical epithelioid AML (archivesofpathology.org).[7]
Cytologic
Features[6]
- Nuclei - round/ovoid.
- Chromatin - bland.
IHC
- Melanocytic markers +ve.[8]
- HMB-45 +ve in all cases (15/15).[9]
- Melan A +ve in ~87% of cases (13/15).
- Epithelial markers -ve.[8]
- SMA +ve.
- CD117 +ve/-ve.
- Ki-67:[10]
- Epithelioid variant of AML +ve.
- Conventional AML -ve.
