[Giant renal angiomyolipoma].
OBJECTIVE
To present a cae of giant renal angiomyolipoma that required surgical treatment owing to its size and concomitant intratumoral hemorrhage.


METHODS
The characteristics of the case are presented and discussed.


CONCLUSIONS
Giant renal angiomyolipoma is one of the most frequent causes of Wünderlich syndrome and is diagnosed by ultrasound and CT. The decision to operate is based on the size of the lesion and/or symptomatology, as in the case described herein, which required a simple nephrectomy.
