Epitheloides Angiomyolipom der Niere nach stattgehabtem malignem Melanom

BACKGROUND: Therapy of epitheloid angiomyolipomas (eAML) may be challenging, since unlike classical angiomyolipomas this rare subclass of benign mesenchymal angiomyolipomas may present with lymph node metastases, local recurrent disease, and/or systemic metastatic disease in up to 30% of cases.

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Therapy of epitheloid angiomyolipomas (eAML) may be challenging, since unlike classical angiomyolipomas this rare subclass of benign mesenchymal angiomyolipomas may present with lymph node metastases, local recurrent disease, and/or systemic metastatic disease in up to 30% of cases. OBJECTIVES: We report here for the first time in Germany a case of eAML after successful treatment of malignant melanoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical and histological findings as well as results of the genetic analysis of the angiomyolipoma are presented. RESULTS: A somatic, truncating mutation of the TSC2 gene was found in the angiomyolipoma. CONCLUSION: The relationship to histologically similar tumor entities are presented and therapeutic options based on the genetic classification are discussed.
