Wunderlich Syndrome Associated With Angiomyolipomas
We present a 26-year-old female with a history of tonic-clonic seizures who presented to the ED with intense abdominal pain located on the right flank with a palpable mass. Management included IV fluids and blood transfusion. She underwent a right total nephrectomy. She was later diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis. A 44-year-old female with a three-year history of right costovertebral pain and recurrent urinary tract infections that presented to the ED with acute right flank pain was diagnosed with WS secondary to an angiomyolipoma and underwent right total nephrectomy. WS is a very rare pathology that represents a diagnostic challenge for the physician. The treatment will depend on the hemodynamic condition of the patient. Active follow-up should be reserved for those who have small tumors, are asymptomatic, and have hemodynamic stability. Surgical or radiology intervention is reserved for those who are hemodynamically unstable or who have a suspicion of renal cell carcinoma.PMID:35530872 | PMC:PMC9072293 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.23861
