a non cancer condition

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

Angiomyolipoma is a mainly non cancer growth commonly arising from kidney. It arises from blood vessels, surrounding fat and smooth muscle cells.

Generally they are not having symptoms. If size is more then 4cm then treatment is given. For you I suggest to go for treatment if size is more then 4cm or you are having symptoms or any associated conditions. If non of these things are there then you may just undergo follow up scans every 3months initially and if growth is static then every yearly.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
