Abstract

Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is one of the most common urological manifesta-tions of tuberous sclerosis complex (TS). These lesions may cause significant morbidity, mostly related to complications from bleeding. Here, we present a pa-tient with bilateral multiple renal AML associated with TS who underwent bilateral renal surgery. The case is discussed in the light of clinical findings and treatment modalities.
