Abstract

Angiomyolipomas form approximately 5% of renal tumors. Because of their benign character, they may reach extensive sizes before the diagnosis. They are usually asymptomatic if the tumor size is less than 4 cm. İn angiomyolipomas greater than 4 cm, there is an increased risk of intratümöral or perinephritic hemorrage and patients may become symptomatic. Therapeutic app-roach, differs vvith respect to size of the tumor and complications. Ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) are important in evaluating the tumor size, internal structure of tumor and complications. İn that way, nephron sparing surgery can be planned. Herein, we report the radiological findings of a patient vvith giant hemorrhagic renal angiomyolipoma. The patient did not have clinical and radiological signs of tuberosclerosis.
