## BACKGROUND. Angiomyolipoma is a benign kidney tumor with distinctive pathologic and clinical features. Because the prognosis differs from many other renal and retroperitoneal tumors, accurate diagnosis on cytologic material may be important for appropriate management.

β¦ Synopsis
Chromosome analysis of a benign, unilateral, renal angiomyolipoma revealed the karyotype 44,XX, -8, -12, -14, -2 I , + der (8q I4q), + der( I2)( I2pter+ I2q 14-1 S : : I2q24+12q 14-I S : : 2 I q2 I 4 2 I qter). This indicates that structural changes of 12q 13-IS, which are so frequently observed in the common malignant and benign lipogenic tumors, may also occur in the rarer variants of these neoplasms.

## Abstract Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign renal neoplasm. Preoperative diagnosis is important because of the different surgical approaches to benign and malignant tumors. Angiographic findings of AML and renal carcinoma may be similar and differentiation difficult. Bβmode ultrasound examination
Angiomyolipoma, which consists of three intimately intermixed components, smooth muscle, blood vessels, and adipose tissue, is variably considered a hamartoma, a choristoma or a true neoplasm.

## Renal -cell carcinomas (RCC) are clinically, histologically and cytogenetically very heterogeneous. The present histological WHO classification shows no clear correlation between histologic subtypes and specific chromosomal abnormalities. In 1986, a new classification was proposed by Thoenes an
