Renal angiomyolipoma is the mesenchymal benign tumor which belongs to the group of hammartomas. It can occur sporadically or in association with tuberous sclerosis complex. The possible morbidity associated with angiomyolipoma is spontaneous life-threatening haemorrhage. In this report we describe three AML cases. The first one, 69-years old female with diagnosis angiomyolipomatosis in both kidneys. The second one, 60-years old female with long time followed-up sporadic AML. The third one, young 28-years old male with tuberous sclerosis.

Keywords: angiomyolipoma, bleeding, embolization, kidney, retroperitoneal hematoma
