Angiomyolipoma of the left ureterovesical junction associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis.

ABSTRACT

To our knowledge we report the first case of retroperitoneal angiomyolipoma located at the left ureterovesical junction associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis. Radiologically, the mass had the characteristics of a cystic soft tissue tumor. Final diagnosis was determined by histopathological examination, which revealed the specific characteristics of angiomyolipoma. The tumor is theorized to be a result of developmental malformation of fetal mesenchymal elements along the ureteral bud during fetal development since it was associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis.
