We discuss a case of a giant renal angiomyolipoma. A 28 year-old woman presented with a history of a painless and swelling abdominal mass. A computerized tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen demonstrated a 27 x 13 x 11 cm tumor in the right retroperitoneum. At laparotomy, a wide excision of the mass was performed and the histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed the presence of an angiomyolipoma. The clinical, radiological and pathological findings of this case are reported with a review of the literature.
