Bilateral Renal Angiomyolipoma Associated With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (Bourneville Disease): A Case Report
Abstract
Bilateral, multifocal and small angiomyolipomas associated with tuberous sclerosis are generally asymtomatic. However they enlarge in time and may lead to severe hemorrhage. They have a greater tendency to enlarge compared to other solitary lesions. High mortality is seen in these cases and usually it is due to neurological complications. A patient with bilateral angiomyolipoma associated with tuberous sclerosis complex is evaluated in this case report. Key words: Renal, Angiomyolipoma, Tuberous Sclerosis, Treatment.

Tüberoskleroz Kompleksi (Bournville Hastalığı) İle İlişkili Bilateral Renal Angiomyolipoma: Olgu Sunumu
Abstract
Tüberoskleroz ile ilişkili bilateral, multifokal ve küçük boyutta olan angiomyolipomalar genellikle asemptomatiktir. Ancak zamanla büyür ve ciddi hemorajiye yol açabilirler. Tüberoskleroz dışında izlenen soliter lezyonlara göre büyümeye daha çok eğilimlidirler. Bu vakalarda mortalite yüksektir ve genellikle nörolojik komplikasyonlara bağlıdır. Bu olgu sunumunda tüberoskleroz kompleksi ilişkili bilateral renal angiomyolipomlu bir hasta değerlendirildi. Anahtar kelimeler: Böbrek, Angiomyolipoma, Tüberoskleroz, Tedavi
