Abstract:
Renal angiomyolipomas (AML’s) are benign tumors containing smooth muscle, adipose, and aberrant vasculature and can cause hypertension, renal failure and life threatening hemorrhage. In Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), AMLs are often bilateral and can be too numerous to count, up to 89% and 76% respectively. The disease is autosomal dominant and affects multiple anatomic systems. No single feature is diagnostic for TSC, making complete evaluation for major and minor signs requisite. We report a case of a hemorrhagic AML in a woman with giant, bilateral, multifocal AML and hypovolemic shock requiring emergent endovascular treatment of unilateral AML hemorrhage.
