Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare benign tumor that follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Its association with polycystic kidney disease is uncommon, with only a handful of cases documented in the literature. The growth of lesions to a significant size may lead to life-threatening complications. We report a case of a 32-year-old female who presented with a palpable mass and bilateral flank pain. Following clinical assessment and CT examination, the patient underwent a left radical nephrectomy. The resected mass measured 9.3 x 8.2 x 7.5 cm, and the subsequent histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis as renal AML.
