Bilateral renal angiomyolipomatosis in tuberous sclerosis presenting with chronic renal failure: case report and review of the literature.
A 45-year-old patient with tuberous sclerosis and bilateral renal angiomyolipomas who presented with chronic renal failure is reported. Although bilateral renal angiomyolipomas are commonly associated with tuberous sclerosis, the occurrence of chronic renal failure in the absence of associated cystic disease of the kidneys as seen in this patient is very rare.
