Abstract

Renal angiomyolipoma are benign vascular tumours that can lead to life threatening haemorrhage. This paper describes a case of further growth of a previously coil embolised renal angiomyolipoma in a patient on warfarin requiring reembolisation. A literature review of the different types of embolization material, their associated complications, current recommendations and comparison between each technique was performed. The rate of recurrence of angiomyolipoma post embolization was also reviewed.
