Figure 1

At the upper pole of the right kidney a large AML, longest diameter of 12.3 × 7.1 cm (arrow left) with heterogenous density, presence of microaneurisms at the posterior and lateral segments, with a dominant lipid component revealed on the urinary tract MRI (red arrow). At the lower pole of the left kidney, an AML with the dimension of 5.3 × 3.7 cm (arrow right) and other multiple AMLs with dimensions of 5-10 mm were found, as well as multiple cysts.

On the brain MRI, multiple lesions as subependimal nodules, subcortical tubers and largest tumor mass presented in foramen Monro as SEGA (diameter 3.0 × 1.5 cm) were described.
