A 31-year old female patient was diagnosed with small right renal mass with renal vein extension immediately after her caesarian delivery. Open right radical nehprectomy was performed with tumor thrombus removal. The histological findings showed simple angiomiolypoma. We present a very rare case of a small, plain angiomiolypoma with renal vein thrombus invasion and we discuss the possible causes and therapeutical options Acta Medica Medianae 2015;54(1): 48-52.

 

Key words: angiomyolipoma, renal vein extensione, radical nephrectomy
