| Summary: | Renal angiomyolipoma is a rare benign tumour and its occurrence during pregnancy is even rare. It is usually diagnosed incidentally. It
can increase in size during pregnancy and can present acutely as rupture with retroperitoneal haemorrhage, mechanism of which is still
unclear. We present a case of successful pregnancy outcome in a patient with congenital solitary kidney affected by angiomyolipoma,
diagnosed incidentally at 19 years of age. The patient had conceived twice. Her antenatal and post partum period was uneventful both
the times. |
