Overview
Treatment options include selective renal artery embolization, nephron sparing surgery( enucleation or partial nephrectomy), complete and radical nephrectomy, radio-frequency ablation and everolimus. Treatment and management of the angiomyolipoma depends largely on
- Size of the tumors
- Signs and symptoms
- Presence or absence of Life threatening hemorrhage
- Its association with the tuberous sclerosis and
- The presence of the comorbidities.
Angiomyolipomas found incidentally, asymptomatic, < 4 cm in size, generally requires no intervention beside periodic evaluation. Medium sized lesion(4-8 cm) should be closely followed with the serial imaging studies(every 6 month and then yearly once stable) and elective intervention provided if the change in the size or symptoms noticed, to increases the chances of renal function salvage. Larger lesion(>8cm), shown to progress to the development of the complication so treated electively.
Medical Therapy
Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, is FDA approved for the treatment of angiomyolipomas. It is most commonly used in Tuberous sclerosis associated angiomyolipoma rather than sporadic cases. It has been shown to reduce the tumor volume as well as its risk of progression.[1][2]
Indications of Everolimus in Angiomyolipoma:
- Multiple large angiomyolipoma[3][4]
- Bilateral angiomyolipoma
- Progression of the lesion( > 5mm/year)
- Hx of prior nephrectomy or embolization
Patients with loss of renal function should be monitored for:
- Hypertension
- Adverse effects of nephrotoxic drugs such as:
- NSAIDS
- IV contrast agents
