OBJECTIVE: We present our experience with 15 @entity1 with @entity8 warranting intervention. METHODS: The medical records and radiological studies were reviewed for @entity1 age and sex, @entity5 location and size, association with @entity2916 , and treatment approach. All @entity1 were regularly followed by ultrasound and computed tomography scan. RESULTS: Presenting symptoms were retroperitoneal @entity548 in 9 @entity1 and @entity812 in 6. Excluding cases of @entity2916 (mean @entity5 diameter 11 cm), the mean diameter of the two @entity5 that bled was 5.4 cm, similar to those in the @entity1 presenting with @entity812 . Two @entity1 with retroperitoneal @entity548 had @entity5 < 3 cm. Angioinfarction was performed in 7 @entity1 , partial nephrectomy in 3, and total nephrectomy in 4. One @entity1 with @entity2916 , who was observed only, died of @entity548 and @entity295 . The mean follow-up period of 4.3 years revealed stable @entity1011 levels and no recurrent @entity548 . CONCLUSIONS: The management approach of @entity359 should be aimed at parenchymal preservation which can be effectively accomplished by limited surgery or preferably by selective embolization. Preventive embolization may be feasible even for small @entity5 . However, any doubt about the diagnosis of @entity359 should be clarified by surgery.
