Abstract
Renal angiomyolipomas are uncommon benign tumors which occur commonly in association with tuberous sclerosis. Until several years ago, an- giomyolipoma was almostly impossible to arrive at a correct diagnosis preoperatively, and most of the cases underwent nephrectomy with the wrong diagnosis of renal carcinoma. In recent years, abdominal computerized tomography and renal ultrasonography have resolved the diagnostic dilemma in almost all cases, and thus to avoid unneces- sary nephrectomies. We report a case of angiomylipoma in association with tuberous sclerosis and our conservative approach, which has enabled us to preserve renal tissue and func- tion.
