Renal angiomyolipoma with hemorrhage - Wunderlich syndrome

Discussion:

Wunderlich syndrome is a rare condition in which spontaneous non-traumatic renal hemorrhage occurs into the subcapsular and perirenal spaces. It is clinically characterized by Lenk's triad; acute flank pain, flank mass, and hypovolemic shock.

It may be secondary to neoplastic or non-neoplastic causes. Among benign neoplasms, angiomyolipoma is the commonest, while among malignancies, renal cell carcinoma is the commonest.

After resuscitation, this patient was transferred for emergency embolization.
