Abstract:
Renal Angiomyolipoma is a common tumour in clinical practice and mostly follows a benign course. Angiomyolipoma is the most common renal neoplasm associated with spontaneous retroperitoneal haemorrhage due to rupture of micro and macro-aneurysms. Urgent trans-catheter angio-embolization of the bleeding vessel is very effective in patients suffering from life threatening hemorrhage secondary to rupture of Angiomyolipoma. Elective surgery is usually indicated to avoid re-bleeding or abscess formation. We report a case of Spontaneous Rupture of Angiomyolipoma of Right kidney in 63 years old female. The female underwent emergent Trans-arterial Embolization followed by elective nephrectomy.
