Abstract
Objective:
To present a cae of giant renal angiomyolipoma that required surgical treatment owing to its size and concomitant intratumoral hemorrhage.
Methods:
The characteristics of the case are presented and discussed.
Results/Conclusions:
Giant renal angiomyolipoma is one of the most frequent causes of Wünderlich syndrome and is diagnosed by ultrasound and CT. The decision to operate is based on the size of the lesion and/or symptomatology, as in the case described herein, which required a simple nephrectomy.
