Renal angiomyolipomas are mesenchymal tumors that are composed of fat tissue, smooth muscle cells and vessels. These are benign tumors, but in rare cases they show a more aggressive growth pattern with invasion into the venous system but without revealing any signs of malignancy. We report a new case of bilateral renal angiomyolipomas with a caval thrombus in a 36 year old female patient with tuberous sclerosis, and give a brief review of the related literature.
