Abstract:
The authors report about one case of bilateral renal angiomyolipoma, which is interesting because it is associated with tuberous sclerosis and was revealed by chronic anemia, and because of the treatment chosen, which consisted in the selective embolization of the neovessels. Follow-up at one year showed the reduction of the tumoral mass and the proper function of the remaining renal parenchyma.
