M. Ziani et al., Renal arteriovenous malformation requiring surgery in Rendu-Osler-Weber disease (hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia), J UROL, 164(4), 2000, pp. 1292-1293

ay involve many organs but rarely the urinary tract. To our knowledge we re
port the second case of an intrarenal lesion but the first to require surge
ry.
