Probably Not: Probably not - amls are benign tumors, with generally a characteristic appearance on us. However, especially given your history, please keep following the plan for surveillance you and your doctor(s) have come up with. Closer scrutiny of this finding as well as the rest of your body is very important.

Probably not: Angiomyolipomas represent benign tumors therefore it should be a separate process from your kidney cancer. Also smaller focuses as youve described are harder to make determination of.
