Mymensingh Med J. 2021 Jul;30(3):850-854.

Abstract

Angiomyolipomas (AML) are benign tumor of kidney also referred as renal hamartoma composed of varying amounts of mature adipose tissue, smooth muscle, and blood vessels. It is seen in two distinct clinical forms, a sporadic (isolated) form and 55-80% seen in association with Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). If the lesion grows to a large size, a series of clinical manifestations and serious complications may occur. Here we present a case of 26 years lady who presented in the Department Radiology & Imaging of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh with chief complaints of bilateral loin pain and occasional hematuria for 2 months. Ultrasound abdomen and contrast enhanced computed tomography shows bilateral renal angiomyolipoma (left>right). In order to look for tuberous sclerosis features, we followed her with plain computed tomography of head which shows subependymal calcifications.
