A member asked:
When do you think i should have an angiomyolipoma renal tumor removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Angiomyolipoma: These are benign tumors. Small lesions discovered incidentally require no treatment. Larger tumors(>4cm) have an increased tendency to bleed spontaneously, and the chance of bleeding increases proportional to increasing size. So the larger or symptomatic lesions may require treatment, either surgery or embolization.
