Heamorrhagic complication of the angiomyolipoma
In our presentation we show a case of a young man with a renal tumor of common histological type and uncommon manifestation. Angiomyolipomas are benign renal tumors that may occur as an isolated finding or as a part of tuberous sclerosis. They are often detected incidentally by ultrasonography or computed tomography. Patients may experience sudden pain or hypotension due to massive haemorrhage within the lesions.
Keywords: benign renal tumors, angiomyolipoma, Wunderlich's syndrome.
