Abstract
A case of pure bilateral renal tell carcinoma (RCC) in a 21‐year‐old female diagnosed as having tuberous selerosis is reported. She underwent a left nephrectomv because of her loss of appetite possibly caused by the tumor compressing her intestines. The preoperalive CI scan showed the presence of adipose tissue in bilateral renal tumors, which is highly suggestive of angiomvolipoma (AML). Histological examination, however, revealed no area or component ot the tumor with features characteristic of AML.Keywords
