Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm. Treatment should be considered for symptomatic patients or for those at risk for complications, in particular for retroperitoneal bleeding, which is correlated to the size of the tumor, grade of the angiogenic component, presence of pain and suspicion malignancy. Herein, we report the case of a 77-year-old female with renal AML who caused life-threatening retroperitoneal hemorrhages by selective embolization.
