ABSTRACT
Angiomyolipoma is an uncommon benign tumour accounting for less than 1% of all surgically excised tumours of the kidney. It may present as an isolated lesion or in association with tuberous sclerosis. An impalpable tumour is often detected incidentally during investigation of a case for some urinary tract pathology. CT scan has proved to be a useful investigation for pre-operative diagnosis; it may however, be of no value if the fat content of the tumour is low. Here a case of angiomyolipoma of left kidney is reported where pre-operative diagnosis was suggested by CT scan and histopathology confirmed it.
