title: Spontaneous rupture of renal angiomyolipoma.
abstract: We report a case of renal angiomyolipoma with retroperitoneal hemorrhage treated by enucleation in a 47 year-old male. The mass in the anterior side of the left kidney, revealed by sonography and CT, was diagnosed as angiomyolipoma with a retroperitoneal hematoma caused by its spontaneous rupture. Removal of hematoma and enucleation of the tumor were performed after the diagnosis. Diagnosis and treatment of ruptured renal angiomyolipoma are discussed.
