| Abstrakt: | Benign renal lesions are relatively rare. Angiomyolipoma (AML) is the most commonly encountered benign renal lesion. One of the complications of AML is rupture, which results in retroperitoneal haemorrhage with a mortality rate of up to 20%. Pregnancy poses a major risk for the rupture of AML. This is attributed to its hormonal effect, which causes the tumour to grow rapidly during pregnancy. The possibility of AML rupture should be considered when encountering pregnant patients with hypovolemic shock but with normal initial obstetric ultrasound findings. We present a case of a pregnant patient who was admitted with hypovolemic shock and CT scan confirmed rupture of AML. Competing Interests: We declare that we have no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this case report. (© Academy of Family Physicians of Malaysia.) |
