Multiple bilateral renal angiomyolipoma. Case report.
Multiple bilateral angiomyolipoma in patients without tuberous sclerosis is a rare benign tumour. A case history is presented, and the available literature reviewed against this background. Problems of diagnosis and therapy are discussed. In this type of tumour, any surgical intervention should be as conservative as possible. Patients without tuberous sclerosis, in whom multiple bilateral angiomyolipoma is diagnosed, should be followed-up neurologically for up to two years after diagnosis, with a view to possible development of tuberous sclerosis.
