Renal angiomyolipomas (AML) are benign tumors, which can acquire huge size and when bilateral, they are diagnostic of tuberous sclerosis (TS). Pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis (LAM) is more common in female patients with TS and mostly diagnosed in patients with renal AMLs. We report a case of giant bilateral AMLs and pulmonary LAM in a 48-year-old female patient, who required nephrectomy for life-threatening hemorrhage.
肾血管平滑肌脂肪瘤(AML)是良性肿瘤,可长得很大,双侧发生时可诊断为结节性硬化症(TS)。肺淋巴管平滑肌瘤病(LAM)在患有TS的女性患者中更为常见,且大多在患有肾AML的患者中被诊断出来。我们报告一例48岁女性患者,患有双侧巨大AML和肺LAM,因危及生命的出血而需要进行肾切除术。
