Misleading presentation of a ruptured renal angiomyolipoma
Sakinah Mazlan1, Nyazirah Abd Wahab2, Khairul Asri Mohd Ghani3, Suzana Ab Hamid4.
We report a case of a 37-year-old pregnant lady at 27 weeks of gestation presented with contraction pain mimicking abruptio placenta. She developed hypovolemic shock six hours following hospital admission. Subsequent emergen- cy caesarian section revealed a viable fetus with retroperitoneal hematoma but no evidence of placenta abruption. Post-operative abdominal CT angiography demonstrated a ruptured and bleeding left renal mass with fatty compo- nent consistent with renal angiomyolipoma. In view of the patient’s clinical condition who was persistently critical, an emergency left nephrectomy was proceeded which confirmed the diagnosis of a ruptured left renal angiomyoli- poma intraoperatively and histologically.
