Renal angiomyolipoma (R-AML) is one of the most common benign neoplasms of the kidney. It is usually asymptomatic and rarely becomes symptomatic. Management of R-AML is still controversial. Generally, follow-up is enough for the management of the disease but rarely, life-threatening complications may develop. Here, we would like to present a case of huge R-AML with life-threatening bleeding with literature review.
