ABSTRACT

Angiomyolipoma is a relatively infrequent benign renal tumor whose incidence increases in patients with tuberous sclerosis, a dominant autosomal disorder characterized by hamartomatous lesions in multiple organs, frequently affecting the kidney. Pregnancy can intensify the symptomatology of previously silent renal tumors, making their diagnosis and treatment more complex. We present the case of a 25-year-old woman with a previous diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis, who in her eighth week of pregnancy presented with anemia-causing hematuria. Bilateral renal angiomyolipoma was identified and when expectant treatment failed, she was treated with selective embolization.
