Abstract

We report our experience treating four patients with acutely bleeding angiomyolipoma (AML) of sizes between 4 and 12 cm who were managed with endovascular embolisation with a mean follow-up of 10 months. In our case series, we demonstrate that endovascular embolisation in the acute setting for bleeding AMLs is a viable treatment option. AML should be in the differential diagnosis of acutely bleeding renal masses, even when there is no fat assessed by computed tomography (CT) imaging in the renal mass.
