Overview
We present a case report of a rare clinical manifestation of spontaneous rupture of an angiomyolipoma. Fourty eight year-old woman on antigoalution treatment with Warfarin® presented with haemoperitoneum. Bleeding into the retroperitoneum and peritoneal cavity due to spontaneous rupture of an angiomyolipoma was diagnosed. This situation led to the development of hemorhagic shock with a need for emergency surgical revision and right-sided nephrectomy. We describe the diagnostic algorhytm, course of the disease and treatment outcomes.
Key words:
angiomyolipoma, spontaneous rupture, Wunderlich’s syndrome, hemoperitoneum.
