Angiomyolipoma of donor kidney: Successful transplantation and 5-year follow-up

Indian J Nephrol. 2016 Mar-Apr;26(2):131-3. doi: 10.4103/0971-4065.159552.

Abstract

Angiomyolipomas (AML) of the kidney are non-encapsulated benign neoplasms with the incidence of 45-80% in patients with tuberous sclerosis and 1-3% in sporadic cases. There are very few case reports in the literature in which kidneys with AML have been used for transplantation. We report here a 27-year-old female patient who received a live related renal transplant from her mother with isolated angiomyolipoma in donor kidney and on follow-up after 5 years, has stable graft function and tumor size.

Keywords: Angiomyolipoma; end-stage renal disease; graft function; kidney transplantation; tuberous sclerosis.
