Abstract
Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign mesenchymal neoplasm seen mostly in kidney. It was previously classified as Hamartomas, however now it belong to a family of tumors collectively referred to as PEComas. Very Few cases of extra renal AML arising from uterine cervix have been reported in the literature. Angiomyolipomais usually associated with tuberous sclerosis. We report a case of Angiomyolipoma occurring at a rare site of uterine cervix, without evidence of Tuberous Sclerosis.
Keywords: Angiomyolipoma; PEComas; Tuberous sclerosis.
