Angiomyolipoma
An angiomyolipoma is a usually benign tumor made up of blood vessels, muscle, and fatty tissue, most often located in the kidney. In many cases it produces no symptoms and is found incidentally on imaging studies.
How it can show up: When it grows, it may be associated with pain in the flank or back, blood in the urine, or abdominal discomfort.
When to seek care? An evaluation is advisable if a kidney lesion is detected on a study, or with lower back pain or blood in the urine without an apparent cause.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the right professional to evaluate a renal angiomyolipoma, monitor its size, and give guidance on the options for each case. If a study mentions a lesion of this type, it is advisable to have a professional review it and answer your questions.
