Abstract:
We report a case of massive retroperitoneal hemorrhage from a spontaneous rupture of a renal angiomyolipoma in a 35 year-old man, that appeared unilateral and solitary tumor without stigma of tuberous sclerosis. He experienced a sudden onset severe pain on the right flank, but had no history of specific associated diseases or factors such as trauma or stone. The patient presented with a clinical picture of shock because of massive hemorrhage in despite of the emergency care and was treated by right total nephrectomy. Herein we review briefly the clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of renal angiomyolipoma.
