Background: The aim of this study was to describe the computed tomography (CT)-imaging features of renal epithelioid angiomyolipomas (E-AMLs) to understand and recognize this new category of renal tumors. Methods: Institutional review board approval was obtained for this retrospective study. Clinical data and preoperative CT images of 11 cases of E-AML were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had unenhanced and tri-phase dynamic enhanced CT examination. CT-imaging features including tumor size, existence of fat and calcification, enhancement degree, enhancement pattern, and enhancement heterogeneity were evaluated. Results: The patients were ten women and one man. The size of tumor ranged from 1.8 to 10.3 cm. All of them had distinct edges; one had a lobulated appearance, ten had bulging contour of the involved kidney, and four lesions had intratumoral fat. Eight of the E-AMLs demonstrated hyper-attenuation, two as iso-attenuation, and one as hypo-attenuation compared with renal parenchyma on unenhanced CT images. Contrast-enhanced CT features were markedly heterogeneous in eight cases (73 %). The predominant enhancement pattern was rapid wash-in to slow wash-out (91 %). Conclusions: The radiological appearance of most E-AMLs has a tendency to be hyper-attenuated on precontrast CT with or without fat component and demonstrates a rapid wash-in to slow wash-out dynamic enhancement pattern.
