Abstract
Angiomyolipoma (AML), the most common mesenchymal tumor of kidney, has been reported only rarely in extrarenal sites, among which liver is the commonest organ involved. Only few cases have been reported in mediastinum mostly discovered as incidental findings during investigation for other diseases. Except for liver, in all other extrarenal site AMLs, the association with tuberous sclerosis is negligible. We report two cases of mediastinal angiomyolipomas with relevant clinical details, radiologic and pathologic findings.
