Epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) is a subtype of angiomyolipoma, the most common benign renal tumour and usually asymptomatic until adulthood. This paper reports a patient with EAML identified at 30 months, the youngest age of presentation with this tumour reported in the literature. In this case the tumour was extremely large andwas successfully surgically removed. Furthermore, the patient had no other TS features, presented with acute symptoms, and had bilateral idiopathic chylothorax which was managed by octreotide and diet.
