Abstract

We present the case of a 29-year-old, pregnant woman who, at 27 weeks' gestation, suffered an acute abdomen with hypovolemic shock that led to intrauterine fetal death in spite of an emergency laparotomy. The final diagnosis was ruptured renal angiomyolipoma, which caused a massive retroperitoneal hemorrhage.
