Abstract
Renal angiomyolipomas are benign tumours known to appear sporadically and in association with genetic syndromes, including lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Treatment of large angiomyolipomas is usually indicated because of an increased risk of spontaneous haemorrhage. We report in a patient with radiographic criteria of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis, a successful trans-arterial embolization of a giant angiomyolipoma with active anemization due to retroperitoneal bleeding and deferred surgical treatment due to persistent symptoms. KEY OF DEFINITIONS FOR ABBREVIATIONS AML: Angiomyolipoma. LAM: Lynphangioleiomyomatosis. TSC: Tuberous sclerosis complex.
