Surgical Conundrum: A Case of Giant Renal Angiomyolipoma Abutting Inferior Vena Cava With Haemorrhage
Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is not only uncommon but often an accidental diagnosis, as it is frequently asymptomatic and affects females disproportionately. Although they may exhibit symptoms of tuberous sclerosis complex and lymphangioleiomyomatosis, the vast majority are sporadic. Due to its vascul...

description | Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is not only uncommon but often an accidental diagnosis, as it is frequently asymptomatic and affects females disproportionately. Although they may exhibit symptoms of tuberous sclerosis complex and lymphangioleiomyomatosis, the vast majority are sporadic. Due to its vascular nature, AML is prone to bleeding, and AML that bleeds typically belongs to the tuberous sclerosis complex. AMLs are mostly benign, but they can proliferate and invade locally, necessitating a strict management strategy. We hereby delineate the manifestations of a 32-year-old man who complained of increased abdominal size and pain without any history of injury. On examination, abdominal distension was demonstrated, and a palpable mass was detected in the right hypochondrium and right lumbar area. All findings from various diagnostic methods indicated that it was a classic kind of renal AML. We are keeping track of this case because it is rare and quite uncommon in males. The case presented a challenging time for the surgeons to plan the line of treatment. |
