Renal angiomyolipoma (rAML) occurs rarely sporadically but is commonly encountered in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. rAML is a rare entity, not seen regularly in daily practice; however, is commonly encountered and diagnosed by clinicians who approach and treat kidney masses. Basic knowledge of this entity is necessary to recognize that despite being benign, these tumors can rarely cause deadly complications such as hemorrhage or severe renal dysfunction or may have malignant components associated with them.
Primary renal chondrosarcomas are rare tumors that are high-grade in nature and, unfortunately, have poorly understood pathogenesis and extremely low prognosis. The coexistence of a discrete malignancy in the urinary bladder is even rarer, with the occurrence of distinct papillary urothelial carcinoma in the urinary bladder in this case. The clinical presentation is nonspecific, and the primary radiological investigations have a limited scope in providing specific diagnosis of this entity. The final diagnosis is possible on thorough histopathological examination of the resected specimen, which requires extensive sampling and meticulous reporting. As of now, the only way to achieve a better prognosis is by early diagnosis. It is necessary to keep the possibility of occurrence of sarcomas at rare sites in the differential diagnoses. The cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities associated with this entity need to be elucidated to achieve a more satisfactory outcome concerning the overall management of the patient.
Renal oncocytomas are asymptomatic, benign tumors often encountered incidentally on various imaging modalities. Renal oncocytomas comprise 5-7% of primary renal neoplasms and are derived from cells of the distal renal tubule. We present a case report of renal oncocytoma in a 22-year-old male having right-sided flank pain and symptomatic gross hematuria with a giant urinary bladder clot retention. The tumor was excised, and the patient underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Typical features of renal oncocytoma were observed upon histopathological examination of the resected specimen. The patient was catheterized, and bladder irrigation with clot retraction was performed.
