Abstract

Tuberous sclerosis is a complex neurocutaneous disease in which facial angiofibroma, mental retardation, seizures, renal tumor and phakoma of the retina are particularly frequent, in which renal tumors are usually angiomyolipomas and they are usually small, bilateral and not combined with symptom. We report a case of bilateral renal angiomyolipomas in association with facial angiofibroma, which resulted in spontaneous rupture and massive retroperitoneal hemorrhage.
