ABSTRACT: Bleeding from renal angiomyolipoma in pregnancy can be catastrophic to both mother and fetus. Selective arterial embolisation is considered more superior than conventional surgery in these patients. Our case report exemplifies how a bleeding angiomyolipoma was halted with embolisation in our pregnant patient.
