Introduction: The increase in the incidence of tuberculosis in developing countries has resulted in increased reporting on more related complications. We report the successful management of an intraoperative spontaneous rupture of a tuberculous pseudo aneurysm associated with spinal tuberculosis. Methodology: We report the case of a 66 years old woman diagnosed with spinal tuberculosis of the T3/T4 vertebrae. During an anterior approach surgical reconstruction for the degenerative vertebrae, massive hemorrhage was observed after the removal of a portion of the prevertebral fascia of the affected vertebrae. This led to the exploration of the hilar fascia for the possibility of hilar hemorrhage, and when no hemorrhage was observed, aneurysm rupture was suspected. A portion of the hilar fascia was then sutured to the prevertebral fascia and the hemorrhage was partially controlled. Results: On the 32nd month post-operative follow-up, the symptoms of chest and back pain had disappeared and the tuberculous lesion eradicated. Conclusion: Presently, there are few reports on the successful treatment of intraoperative spontaneous rupture of tuberculous pseudoaneurysms. We therefore report on the successful management of such a case.

Massive hemorrhage due to spontaneous rupture of a renal angiomyolipoma is a rare, but the most severe complication of this unusual tumor. The aim of this publication is to present a rare case of massive retroperitoneal hemorrhage and hemoperitoneum due to spontaneous rupture of giant renal angiomyolipoma. Case presentation: A 20-year-old woman, with a previous diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis and sudden onset of severe abdominal pain is presented. Median laparotomy on emergency was performed, with operative finding of hemoperitoneum and a giant ruptured retroperitoneal tumor with retroperitoneal hematoma. Gross pathology and histological examination determined the origin of the retroperitoneal tumor mass – angiomyolipoma, complicated with rupture and severe bleeding. In conclusion, this case presents rare, but the most severe complication of renal angiomyolipomas – spontaneous rupture of the tumor with life-threatening retroperitoneal bleeding.
