OBJECTIVE: To present a cae of giant renal angiomyolipoma that required surgical treatment owing to its size and concomitant intratumoral hemorrhage. METHODS: The characteristics of the case are presented and discussed. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: Giant renal angiomyolipoma is one of the most frequent causes of Wünderlich syndrome and is diagnosed by ultrasound and CT.
