Axial (a) and coronal (b) views of contrast-enhanced CT scan of abdomen showing bilateral enlarged kidneys with multiple fat-containing lesions suggestive of angiomyolipomas (white arrows) and multiple enhancing solid renal lesions suspicious of multifocal renal cell carcinoma (black arrows). Axial view of CT scan of chest without contrast (c) showing multiple random pulmonary cysts in both lungs (white arrows) and bilateral innumerable scattered pulmonary nodules (black arrows), suggestive of lymphangioleiomyomatosis and multiple micronodular pneumatosis hyperplasia Selective left renal arteriogram (d,e). After interrogation of multiple artery branches, an aneurysm was identified in the central aspect of interpolar region. A microcatheter was used to selectively, distally catheterize the supplying branch. Following microcoil embolization, good angiographic results were noted with no visualization of the aneurysm on the final left renal angiogram
