Abstract
Angiomyolipoma is the most common benign renal neoplasm. With increase in size chances of complications increases. Angiomyolipoma greater than 4 cm in size require close follow up & intervention to minimize risk of complication. Wunderlich syndrome or spontaneous renal haemorrhage is a life threatening complication which usually presents as an acute emergency condition. We present a case of sub-acute presentation, Angiomyolipoma with spontaneous haemorrhage & we would also like to demonstrate role of imaging in pre-operative accurate diagnosis & prevention of unnecessary emergency laparotomy.
