Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy of Epithelioid Angiomyolipoma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Epithelioid angiomyolipoma (AMYL) is a variant of angiomyolipoma characterized by sheets of epithelioid cells that may mimic renal cell carcinoma. This is the first report describing the fine needle aspiration biopsy features of this lesion. CASE: A 47-year-old man with a history of epithelioid angiomyolipoma of the kidney treated with nephrectomy nine months previously presented with a recurrent retroperitoneal mass and multiple nodular liver lesions. Fine needle aspiration biopsy of one of the liver lesions showed fragments and sheets of noncohesive epithelioid cells with thin cytoplasm, markedly atypical nuclei, and scattered bizarre and multinucleated forms. The epithelioid cells focally expressed HMB-45 and were nonimmunoreactive, with epithelial markers. CONCLUSION: Epithelioid AMYL may pose differential diagnostic problems with high grade carcinoma, especially renal cell, hepatocellular and metastatic carcinoma. An awareness of this entity and its characteristic cytologic features and immunoreactivity with HMB-45 is helpful in its identification.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
