Abstract

The association of angiomyolipoma with renal cell carcinoma in tuberous sclerosis is extremely rare, although the relation between tuberous sclerosis and angiomyolipoma of the kidney is widely recognized. We report here a case of bilateral angiomyolipoma and renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney with tuberous sclerosis and demonstrate the diagnostic difficulties in distinguishing between these tumors.
