ABSTRACT

Objective: We report two cases of unusual renal tumours in two Nigerian adults. The first case was in a 45 year old female; who presented with an insidious onset of right upper abdominal pain with right abdominal swelling. The second case was a 33 year old pregnant lady; presenting with three week history of right lumbar pain and an accompanying mass. The various modes of radiological investigations and their significance in making a prompt diagnosis are highlighted. Method: Abdominal ultrasound scan; intravenous urography and CT scan confirmed the presence of renal masses in both cases and the suspicion of renal malignancies were raised clinically. They both had nephrectomy. Results : Histology report of the masses revealed angiomyolipoma (AML). Conclusions: In a period of three years; out of twenty four solid renal tumours operated upon in the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH); two were unusual. All the others were renal cell carcinoma. All diagnosis were confirmed histologically
