Abstract
-
We report on a patient with known tuberous sclerosis who has huge bilateral angiomyolipoma in both kidneys as well in the periaortic lymph node. Under preoperative diagnosis of angiomyolipoma, the problem was managed conservatively. Massive persistent hematuria was controlled by superselective angioinfarction with ethanol and functioning renal parenchyma was preserved in the right kidney. Bleeding within the tumor of the left kidney was treated by angioinfarction followed by nephrectomy.
