case_images: The patient presented with a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis with and without intravenous contrast that demonstrated the tumor and, per the radiology report, no evidence of vascular invasion on portal venous phase imaging (Figure 1).
case_images: Coronal CT arterial phase showing two left renal arteries and early venous filling of contrast in renal vein and vena cava concerning for AVM in addition to multiple collateral vessels.

case_images: Subsequent findings of early venous filling and multiple engorged collateral vessels with arterialized blood flow raised concern for the presence of a cortical AVM (Figure 2).
