Cervical Angiomyolipoma Remodeled by Calcification, a Rare Entity in a Case at the Nianankoro FOMBA Hospital in Ségou

Résumé fourni par la source

Angiomyolipoma is a rare benign tumour composed of blood vessels, smooth muscle and adipose tissue, located mainly in the kidney. Localisation in the cervix is very rare and does not appear to be associated with Bourneville’s tuberous sclerosis. Aim: To report a case of cervical angiomyolipoma. Patient and method: A 14-year-old girl consulted for a right cervico-lateral mass that had been evolving for 7 years. Results: A cervicotomy was performed, and a firm mass with a smooth, limited surface was found, yellow in colour, and vascularised. It was removed in one piece, weighing 1925 g. The anatomopathological examination of the operative specimen revealed “an angiomyolipoma remodelled by calcification”. After 5 years, the patient was monitored clinically and ultrasonographically, and the follow-up was straightforward. Conclusion: Angiomyolipoma is a benign tumour that mainly affects the kidney. It accounts for 1 to 3% of solid tumours of the kidney and rarely affects other organs. Its cervical location is very rare.
