| Abstract: | We successfully treated a case of angiomyolipoma of the right kidney involving the inferior vena cava. Tissue sections of the tumor were immunostained and immunohistochemically tested with the smooth muscle related antibodies, namely, calponin h1, h-caldesmon and alpha-smooth muscle actin, and were then compared with the five cases of common type of angiomyolipoma. Furthermore, we reviewed and analyzed 25 case reports of invasive renal angiomyolipomas. |
