Angiomyolipoma is an uncommon benign tumour (hamartsoma) composed of mature or immature fat, thick-walled blood vessels and smooth muscle elements in varying proportions. It is typically found in the young and inpatients with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). We present a case of a 55-year old woman who has no TSC. A 55-year old post-menopausal house wife referred a peripheral hospital with subtle progressive right flank pain of 2years and right flank mass of 3 months duration. The pain remarkably worsened 3 months prior to presentation associated with poor appetite, weight loss and occasional vomiting. Other systematic symptoms and family history were un remarkable. She had right radical nephrecto my in view of a symptomatic huge right renal mass and clinical suspicion of malignancy. The pathology report revealed Angiomyolipoma. Clinicians should be wary of the presence of such an entity.
