Case report of a 52-year-old woman with angiomyolipoma of the left kidney. The tumor hadappearance of a typical angiomyolipoma predominantly composed of spindle cells, some epithelio-id cells and few large hyalinized vessels. Adipose tissue was concentrated into small foci. Unusualpresence of large cells with a clear fine granular cytoplasm closely resembled cells of the „sugartumor“ of the lung. Epithelioid cells and occasionaly spindle cells were HMB45 positive. A minori-ty of cells also coexpressed S100 protein. Clear cells were usually strongly positive for HMB45 too.Our findings supported consideration of a close relation between clear cell („sugar“) tumor of thelung and angiomyolipoma.
Key words: clear cell angiomyolipoma - kidney - clear cell tumor
