“…Ultrasound and CT scan findings in renal angiomyolipoma have been previously described (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). Radiological diagnosis of angiomyolipoma is dependent on the demonstration of fat within the tumours and the presence of even small amounts of fat can help differentiate from renal cell carcinoma (2).…”

Angiomyolipomas are rare tumours of the kidney which have a tendency to bleed. We studied the clinical and radiological features of 11 patients from our institution to identify features which may be predictive of a massive haemorrhage. Tumours more than 6 cm in diameter were found to bleed and the demonstration of pseudoaneurysms on contrast CT scanning was associated with massive haemorrhage. We conclude that large angiomyolipomas should be treated to avoid haemorrhage and the detection of pseudoaneurysms should prompt urgent treatment.
