Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare tumor with an incidence of 0.3% - 3%.
We reported a case of a 41-year-old male patient who presented with gross hematuria and hemorrhagic shock, due to a right giant angiomyolipoma he underwent urgent right nephrectomy by subcostal laparotomy, total weight of the mass was 6 Kg, histological examination concluded in a renal angiomyolipoma.
Treatment of renal AML depends on the clinical presentation, tumor size, and single or multiple lesions: single small (< 4 cm) asymptomatic lesions require only clinical and radiological follow-up, however giant symptomatic (hematuria), life-threatening masses require urgent multidisciplinary treatment and especially surgery.
Giant renal bilateral AML is very rare, conservative treatment in the absence of hemorrhage should always be first proposed to preserve renal function as possible.
