Factors associated with the number and size of renal angiomyolipomas in sporadic angiomyolipoma (sAML): a study of adult patients with sAML managed in a Dutch tertiary referral center.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe the patient characteristics, treatments, disease monitoring, and kidney function of patients with sporadic angiomyolipoma (sAML), stratified by the number and size of renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs).

Methods

Single-center retrospective analysis of patients with sAML treated from 1990 to 2015 in a dedicated clinic for inheritable tumor syndromes in a tertiary referral center from the Netherlands. Patients' first AML assessment at the clinic was defined as the index date. Patient characteristics were measured at the index date. Treatments, disease monitoring, and kidney function were measured post-index date.

Results

The study sample included 53 patients followed for a total of 184.6 patient-years. At the index date, the largest AML was ≥ 3.5 cm for 26
