Abstract

We report another three cases of renal angiomyolipoma with different modes of presentation and treatment. Two cases are considered to be of particular interest; one patient presented chyluria in the course of the disease and Wunderlich's syndrome posteriorly, and in the other patient the presenting features were extrarenal. The diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities are discussed and attention is focussed on the conservative approach whenever possible.
