Angiomyolipoma With Epithelial Cysts.

上皮囊肿性肾血管平滑肌脂肪瘤

Abstract

Angiomyolipoma with epithelial cysts is a rare mesenchymal tumor of the kidney that enters in the differential diagnosis of adult cystic renal neoplasms. These tumors demonstrate a slight female predominance and can present either incidentally or with symptoms, commonly flank pain and hematuria. Unlike conventional angiomyolipoma, this variant is characterized grossly by both solid and cystic areas, and histologically by the presence of single or multiple cysts lined by epithelial cells, a subepithelial "cambium-like" layer of small stromal cells with a prominent capillary vasculature, and a thick exterior wall composed of poorly formed fascicles of smooth muscle and thick-walled dysplastic blood vessels. Tumors show a distinct immunohistochemical profile and are often reactive for melanocytic markers (HMB-45 and Melan-A), as well as estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor. These tumors have an indolent clinical course, with no reports of progression or metastasis in reported cases thus far.

摘要

上皮囊肿性肾血管平滑肌脂肪瘤是一种罕见的肾间质肿瘤,要与成人的囊性肾肿瘤进行鉴别。这些肿瘤女性稍微多发,可偶发,也可伴有症状,常见腰痛和血尿。与传统的血管平滑肌脂肪瘤不同的是,这类肿瘤的特点是大体上具有实性和囊性区,组织学上存在单个或多个被覆上皮细胞的囊肿,上皮下可见由小的基质细胞和显著毛细血管构成的类似“形成层”样的结构,外围是一层厚厚的束状结构不明显的平滑肌及厚壁的畸形血管。该肿瘤有独特的免疫组化谱系,通常会表达黑色素细胞的标记(HMB-45、Melan-A),以及雌激素受体和孕激素受体。这些肿瘤的临床进程缓慢,目前尚无复发或转移的病例报道。
