Rupturing of renal angiomyolipoma due to physical examination

Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is relatively a rare benign tumour including vascular smooth muscle, and fatty elements; and the majority of renal AML run an asymptomatic, benign course. Potentially life-threatening complication of renal AML is tumour rupturing that can be seen after a low-velocity trauma. Flank pain and haematuria may be considered not important in emergency department if underlying cause is not kept in mind. In present study, the authors aimed to discuss a patient who developed ruptured AML during physical examination.
