Abstract
Angiomyolipoma is a benign kidney tumour. Its extrarenal, retroperiton eal site is exceptional. The authors report a case and emphasise the v alue of ultrasonography and computed tomography in the diagnosis of th ese tumours with a marked fatty component, without neglecting the cont ribution of arteriography which can be useful in the diagnosis of the origin of very large retroperitoneal tumours.
