Abstract

Although embolization or nephron-sparing surgery may be recommended for large angiomyolipoma (AML) associated with bleeding, bilateral multiple AMLs in patients who are in-operable and preservation of renal function are complicated situations. Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor is considered as an alternative and less invasive treatment for AML in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). We experienced a case of bilateral multiple AMLs in a 43-year-old woman with TSC. We treated her with everolimus. After 6 months of the medication, her facial angiofibromas were improved considerably, and gross hematuria and abdominal pain had disappeared. Follow-up computed tomography showed that the masses had decreased in size and presented a regression state.
