- Urologické oddělení, Fakultní nemocnice Ostrava
We present a case report of a rare clinical manifestation of spontaneous rupture of an angiomyolipoma. Fourty eight year-old woman on antigoalution treatment with Warfarin* presented with haemoperitoneum. Bleeding into the retroperitoneum and peritoneal cavity due to spontaneous rupture of an angiomyolipoma was diagnosed. This situation led to the development of hemorhagic shock with a need for emergency surgical revision and right-sided nephrectomy We describe the diagnostic algorhytm, course of the disease and treatment outcomes.
