Wunderlichs syndrome in patient with sporadic bilateral angiomyolipomas - case report

Rozhl Chir. 2020 Winter;99(12):548-551.

Abstract

We present the case report of bilateral renal angiomyolipomas in a 70-year-old patient. Spontaneous bleeding into the retroperitoneum and hemodynamic instability required an acute surgical revision with a left-sided nephrectomy. The contralateral angiomyolipoma was selectively embolized in the second period and subsequently resected.

Keywords: angiomyolipoma − spontaneous rupture − retroperitoneal bleeding − Wunderlich syndrome − tuberous sclerosis.
