US case of the day. Large, bilateral angiomyolipomas of the kidneys with tuberous sclerosis

[Massive bleeding of the urogenital tract]

Massive bleeding of the urogenital tract is, in the same way as acute bleeding from all other organs, a medical emergency and necessitates precise diagnostics and treatment. In this article the topic is addressed in four main categories: first the inflammatory causes are discussed, followed by surgical, traumatic and neoplastic causes of massive bleeding. Subsequently, the rare but clinically relevant causes of acute and massive bleeding are described.

Massive bilateral renal angiomyolipomatosis and multifocal micronodular pneumocytes hyperplasia associated with tuberous sclerosis: a case report

Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by a variety of hamartomatous lesions in various organs. Various organ involvements can be detected with radiology: neurologic involvement (cortical tubers, subependymal nodules and white matter abnormalities), renal involvement (angiomyolipoma) and pulmonary involvement (pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis, multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia). Here, we are reporting a case of tuberous sclerosis with multiple organ involvement and massive bilateral AMLs in a 49-year-old female patient.
