Abstract :
Angiomyolipomas are benign neoplasms of the kidney which
can clinically mimic renal malignancy. The imaging features are
quite characteristic, and diagnosis can be clinched solely based on
radiological investigations. Although mostly asymptomatic, they
can be a cause of significant morbidity due to size and hemorrhage.
We report a case of giant angiomyolipoma with a dilated vessel
susceptible to hemorrhage.
