Urgent: Angiomyolipoma in right kidney

Somraj,  you should have a follow-up appointment with your Consultant to discuss these findings.   When I was first diagnosed with an angiomyolipoma in 2009 I was told they are benign tumours.  They said once they reach 4cms they become 'unpredictable' and treatment would be offered, usually embolisation at first to cut off the blood supply feeding the tumour.  I used to have 6 monthly ultrasounds, which then went to 12 monthly.  I was diagnosed with a second angiomyolipoma on the other kidney in 2014.  The goalposts have now been moved in the UK and they wait for them to reach 5 cms before treating them.   I am due to see my Consultant Monay, 6/11 so will ask more questions this time.  Apparently, sometimes they just stop growing and no further treatment is then required.

Make a list of what you want answers to when you see your Consultant.  Good luck.

Hi Somraj, just wondering how you are getting on with your Angiomyolipoma diagnosis.  Have you been told any more info?  My last ultrasound revealedd that my AMP's hadn't changed much in size so the Consultant has now put me on bi-annual checks.   They can be quite slow growing and sometimes stop growing altogether.   Please update me as to how you are getting on.  Regards, Janet
