A member asked:
I am a woman.aged 33. have a hyperechoic lesion measuring 12.4 *11.8mm noted in left renal cortex. how can this be treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The vast majority: of the time, this finding represents a benign angiomyolipoma and requires no treatment. The ultrasound appearance is not diagnostic, but CT or MRI can usually make a definitive confirmation of the diagnosis due to certain unique features of the nodule on those modalities.
