Abstract:
Angiomyolipoma is a rare tumor frequently associated with tuberous sclerosis and it has a higher incidence of bilateral renal involvement in this case. Patients effected by Bourneville's Syndrome are often more symptomatic than patients with angiomyolipoma only, however it is necessary to examine the renal conditions in all of them because of the high risk for severe hemorrhage. Diagnostic evaluation is based on radiological findings as Ultrasonography and Computed Tomography. We present a case of bilateral and symptomatic angiomyolipoma is a young woman with Bourneville's Syndrome.
