چکیده
Introduction Angiomyolipoma (hamartoma) of the kidney is a rare finding. Hajdu and Foote (1969) recorded an incidence of 0.31% in 8501 post-mortem cases. McCullough, Scott and Seybold (1971), Becker et al. (1973), Honey and Honey (1977) consider that 50-80% of renal hamartomas appear in patients with tuberose sclerosis. Angiomyolipomas without tuberose sclerosis are usually solitary and unilateral. Rupture may be a complication in 4.5%o of the solitary angiomyolipomas (Vasko, Brockman and Bomar, 1965). To the author's knowledge, only 9 rupture cases have been reported (Vasko et al., 1965; Wapnik et al., 1975). An additional case is now presented which was diagnosed intra-operatively.
