Abstract EN
Angiomyolipoma and PEComa are rare tumors descending from perivascular epithelial cells (PECs), with distinctive IHC, morphological, and ultrastructural features.
The kidney is the most frequent site of origin, but not the only one; however, adrenal gland angiomyolipomas are extremely rare.
We describe two cases being found in the adrenal glands.
Given the paucity of literature on the subject, more information on this disease is necessary for diagnosis and treatment.
Here, we describe two complete case reports, from presentation to treatment and follow-up, along with imaging and microscopic pathology samples, and provide a comprehensive review as to the history and current literature available regarding these extremely rare tumors.
