These tumors represent 8% of operated kidney angiomyolipomas. Diagnosis is based on histological findings. The aim of this text is to review the information on this issue, the histological picture and the case report of a 42-year-old woman operated at our department who was found to have multicentric or metastatic involvement of the retroperitoneal lymph node.
