Abstract
We report a case of unilateral renal angiomyolipoma in a 10-year-old boy wi th tuberous sclerosis. The case is worthy of attention because the symptoms occurred at an early age and because the lesion was unilateral, the latter confirmed at 11-year follow-up. The presentation and treatment are discuss ed, and the pertinent literature is reviewed. The case demonstrates that it is of clinical importance to monitor renal involvement in children with tu berous sclerosis. Copyright (C) 2001 S. Karger AG, Basel.
