A member asked:
What is angiomyolipoma of the kidney? is it treatable?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Benign tumor: This is a fairly common benign tumor. If the imaging specialist is certain of the diagnosis, it's perhaps best left alone. If you have more than one, or other signs, it's suggestive of tuberous sclerosis, a highly variable genetic illness. A big one may respond to some recently-devised medical management.
