Abstract
Renal Angiomyolipoma (AML), moreover known as a renal hamartoma, is a solid tumor with no malignant characteristics. The inheritance pattern of renal AML is autosomal dominant. If the lesion grows to a large size, a series of clinical manifestations and important complications might also occur. This research paper presents a case of huge renal AML in a 47-year-old lady, who visited the Emergency Department of Bahrain Defence Forces Hospital with right-sided abdominal pain of sudden onset. The patient underwent a total right nephrectomy. The resected mass was sized 10.5 x 13 x 14 cm. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed the lesion as a huge renal AML. Due to the huge size of the tumor, it is crucial to record similar cases, along with their diagnosis and treatment. Keywords: Abdominal pain, Angiomyolipoma, Hamartoma, Kidney Neoplasms, Nephrectomy
