Abstract
Cited by 0 Articles

Haematuria, basically means seeing red blood cells in urine, is one of the causes of emergency service admissions and it has a wide range of etiology from urinary tract infection to malignancy. Renal angiomyolipoma, which is common in tuberous sclerosis patients, is one of these etiologies. These masses often manifest themselves with haematuria and can cause significant morbidity. In this paper, we present the case of a twenty-four-year-old female patient who complained of haematuria and left flank pain. She had been followed for tuberous sclerosis for eleven years and we diagnosed her as postpartum spontaneous renal angiomyolipoma rupture accurately, after performing abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography. Then she recovered fully and discharged after stopping bleeding by transarterial embolization method.

Key words: Haematuria; Angiomyolipoma; Pregnancy; Emergency.
