Spontaneous Fatal Rupture of a Large Pseudoaneurysm within a Renal Angiomyolipoma following Incomplete Embolization in a Patient with Bilateral Renal Angiomyolipomas

Giant renal pseudoaneurysm complicating angiomyolipoma in a patient with tuberous sclerosis complex: An unusual case report and review of the literature

“…Renal angiomyolipoma was first defined by Fischer in 1911, which predominantly affects females rather than males [ 8 ]. Some studies have suggested that AMLs can present in a wide age range from 19 to 93 years with overall prevalence being as high as 0, 3% [ 1 , 5 ]. They occur as sporadic, isolated entities in 80% of cases.…”

“…AMLs tend to bleed because of the hypervascularity and the presence of small aneurysms, leading to life-threatening complications [ 3 , 4 ]. Clinically, the tumor has a myriad of presentations ranging from being completely asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis to abdominal pain, hematuria, recurrent urinary tract infection, and intratumoral bleed that can be occasionally massive requiring urgent embolization or nephrectomy [ 5 ].…”
