Abstract

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is known as a neurological and dermatological disorder, but its renal manifestations are frequent and may cause death. We report a patient with TSC who showed bilateral multiple renal angiomyolipomas. Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma caused by renal angiomyolipoma that mimicking intraperitoneal hemorrhage was diagnosed in her clinical follow-up. We performed right total nephrectomy for controlling hemorrhage, but she died due to poor respiratory function, in fifteenth day postoperatively.
