A member asked:
Well defimed oval hyperechoic lesion measurin 12 11 mm.dr suspect angiomyolipoma.can it be malignant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Angiomyolipomas of the kidney suspected on ultrasound can be quickly assessed with non contrast dedicated renal ct. If gross fat is seen on ct then it is a benign angiomyolipoma and you are done with the evaluation.
