ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Hamartoma is a common benign tumor that usually occurs in the kidney, liver, lung, and pancreas. Large renal hamartomas may spontaneously rupture and hemorrhage, which is potentially life-threatening. CASE PRESENTATION This report describes a 46-year-old Han Chinese female patient with multiple renal and hepatic hamartomas with rupture and hemorrhage of giant hamartoma in the left kidney. She underwent arterial embolization three times successively, and her condition was stable during the 2-year follow-up. This report includes a review of the relevant literatureCONCLUSIONS:
the findings in this report and previous literature suggest that arterial embolization can not only rapidly treat hamartoma hemorrhage in the acute phase but can also effectively control multiple lesions in the long term after repeated multisite arterial embolization.Palavras-chave
