[Exophytic renal angiolipoma versus retroperitoneal liposarcoma].

AbstractOBJECTIVE:
To report a case of exophytic renal angiomyolipoma mimicking a retroperitoneal liposarcoma on magnetic resonance imaging.
METHODS:
A large, palpable abdominal mass was incidentally discovered during routine physical examination in a 61-year-old, hypertensive woman. A CT scan disclosed a retroperitoneal mass, 17 cm in diameter, adjacent to the kidney. The MRI findings were diagnostic of liposarcoma. The tumor was resected en bloc.
RESULTS:
The histopathological findings demonstrated angiomyolipoma.
CONCLUSIONS:
Exophytic angiomyolipoma can mimic retroperitoneal liposarcoma on MRI.
