Abstract
Introduction: Angiomyolipoma (AML) is often a benign tumor found in the kidney. Case presentation: We report a very rare case of retroperitoneal AML with two relapses and metastasis that presented with complaints of abdominal pain. Discussion: Extrarenal angiomyolipoma (ERAML) is a very rare tumor, often benign, and mostly found in the liver and then in the retroperitoneal area. Diagnosis of retroperitoneal AML is very difficult, and the best imaging is CTA and CT. We found only a few reports of metastasis and recurrence in the publication. Conclusion: retroperitoneal angiomyolipoma (RAML) often behaves benignly; according to several studies of metastasis and recurrence, it shows the need for frequent follow-ups after surgery.
