BMR Medicine-Radical nephrectomy for angiomyolipoma along with caesarean section - a case report

Renal angiomyolipoma with spontaneous bleeding during pregnancy is an extremely rare condition found in general population. Maternal and fetal health should be taken in consideration before any further management as it is a challenging diagnostic and curative problem. Early diagnosis of this tumor could have led to a better outcome for the child if the mother was operated in early pregnancy or even before becoming pregnant. This fact underlines the usefulness of abdominal and pelvic ultrasound especially in early pregnancy(first trimester). Second trimester is the most appropriate time for any surgical intervention.
