Abstract
- We report a case of a 31-year-old man with extrarenal angiomyolipoma of the perinephric space. He presented with asymptomatic macrohematuria. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a large perinephric mass which was separated from the right kidney and its unique growth appeared to have surrounded the kidney. Extrarenal angiomyolipomas of the perinephric fat are rare and they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a retroperitoneal mass where asymptomatic macrohematuria was presented at the onset.
