How To Treat Angiomyolipoma

Angiomyolipoma refers to a typically benign kidney tumor. However, just because it is benign, it is not always easy to treat, though there are several methods for treating angiomyolipoma. Once they are detected and diagnosed through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a computerized tomography (CT) scan, or ultrasound, angiomyolipoma can be treated using quite a few different techniques. Generally speaking, the prognosis for recovery is good so long as the size of the tumor is relatively small. Unfortunately, as angiomyolipoma tumors gain in size, they can cause bleeding and become more challenging to treat.
