  ABSTRACT: Renal angiomyolipomas are the most common benign tumours of the kidney accounting for up to 1% of all renal masses. Giant angiomyolipomas which have a size greater than 10 centimetres are rare entities with few cases reported in literature. Small angiomyolipomas are usually a symptomatic and increasing size correlates with symptomatology. These are usually incidentally detected or when symptomatic may present with an abdominal lump, flank pain or hemorrhage. Herein, we report a rare case of 45-year-old lady with giant angiomyolipoma with clinical presentation indistinguishable from perinephric abscess. The case is rare with regards to the large size of tumour and the discordant presentation unusual for an angiomyolipoma.
