Renal angiomyolipoma

-When you find a fatty lesion in the liver parenchyma, you never ever ask for biopsy as it could be angiomyolipoma which may cause severe bleeding.

-You can confirm the nature of the lesion by angiography whatever the method used(CT,MRI or conventional).

-It is a common benign renal mass formed of fat, muscles and vessels.

-40-80% of cases with tuberous sclerosis have angiomyolipoma which are usually small, multiple, bilateral and asymptomatic with M=F.
