Renal angiomyolipoma rupture in a young female with COVID-19

Abstract

\n While primarily a respiratory illness, infection with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is associated with pathologic changes in normal coagulation, characterized by both thromboembolic and bleeding events. We present the case of a 22-year-old female diagnosed with renal angiomyolipoma (AML) rupture 2\u202fweeks after COVID-19 infection, ultimately requiring admission for hemorrhage control via endovascular embolization. Emergency medicine physicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for renal AML rupture and other spontaneous bleeding events in patients with recent COVID-19 infection due to a possible correlation between the two.\n
