Arteriovenous shunting in a giant renal angiomyolipoma. A rare condition.
We report a case of a 33-year-old woman with tuberous sclerosis and bilateral angiomyolipomas. She suffered from acute left flank pain due to retroperitoneal haemorrhage. During renal arteriography an arteriovenous shunting was found in the left tumour. Angiomyolipoma is a rare cause of angiographically demonstrable arteriovenous shunting.
