Summary
Renal angiomyolipomas are rare tumors that may be seen with tuberous sclerosis and cause massive retroperitoneal hemorrhage. In this paper, we present a case with massive hemorrhage due to angiomyolipoma in the left kidney and treated with selective arterial embolization by interventional radiology. Even in cases of massive bleeding, the angiographic procedure can be successfully performed and thus the kidney can be spared.
