Urgent arterial embolization of ruptured renal angiomyolipoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most undesired complication of renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is bleeding. Because of tumor rupture, the bleeding can spread to the retroperitoneal field and can be severe enough to be life threatening. We report a case of retroperitoneal hemorrhage caused by a ruptured AML that was successfully treated with transarterial embolization with N-butyl cyanoacrylate.

Urgent angioembolization with early elective nephron-sparing surgery for spontaneously ruptured renal angiomyolipoma.
Tumor rupture with hemorrhage is a severe complication of renal angiomyolipoma. Urgent transcatheter arterial embolization is an effective method for the patient suffering from life-threatening hemorrhage due to ruptured angiomyolipoma. Elective surgery has been suggested because of the possibility of rebleeding or abscess formation after embolization. However, it is not easy to perform a nephr...

Spontaneous rapture with consequent retroperitoneal hemorrhage (Wunderlich's syndrome) is the complication mostly feared from large renal angiomyolipomas (RAMLs). In hemodynamic stable patients, minimal invasive therapies have superseded open surgery as the mainstay of treatment, with contemporary cases mostly treated by selective arterial embolization. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nep...

A 38-year-old man with no known relevant medical history presented with right flank pain of sudden onset. The patient had no history of trauma. On examination, his right abdomen showed tenderness on palpitation. Computed tomography of the abdomen with intravenous contrast showed a heterogeneous 13×9 cm mass on the right kidney containing adipose tissue and perirenal hematoma (Picture 1). A diag...
متن کاملEmbolization of Spontaneous Intratumoral Hemorrhage with the Hemodynamic Characteristics of Arteriovenous Fistula in Renal Angiomyolipoma
Aneurysms within renal angiomyolipomas (AML) may rupture into the tumor or pararenal space. Transcatheter arterial embolization is the first-choice treatment to control bleeding. Here, we describe the use of coil embolization in two cases of spontaneous intratumoral hemorrhage with the hemodynamic characteristics of renal arteriovenous (AV) fistula in renal AML. In case 1, renal angiography sho...
