    Author: Wahab S, Ahmad Khan R, Thapa M, Wahab A, Ahmad I.
    Journal: Iran J Kidney Dis; 2009 Jul; 3(3):168-71. PubMed ID: 19617667.
    Abstract:
    Angiomyolipomas are benign neoplasms of the kidney which can clinically mimic renal malignancy. The imaging features are quite characteristic, and diagnosis can be clinched solely based on radiological investigations. Although mostly asymptomatic, they can be a cause of significant morbidity due to size and hemorrhage. We report a case of giant angiomyolipoma with a dilated vessel susceptible to hemorrhage.
