Angiomyolipoma is a benign mesenchymal neoplasm developing especially, but not only, in kidneys. Its frequency is estimated between 0.03 and 0.07%. Until now only few cases of such symptomatic tumors during pregnancy and puerperium were reported in the literature. The case of ruptured renal angiomyolipoma 48 hours after the cesarean section with massive retroperitoneal hemorrhage illustrates the diagnostic difficulties concerning such a pregnancy complication.
