2025年3月1日 · Renal angiomyolipomas (AML) are a type of benign renal neoplasm encountered both sporadically and as part of a phakomatosis, most commonly tuberous sclerosis. They are considered one of a number of tumors with perivascular epithelioid cellular differentiation (PEComas) and are composed of vascular, smooth muscle and fat elements.
Renal Angiomyolipoma: Radiologic Classification and Imaging
2017年7月20日 · Angiomyolipoma (AML) is the most common benign solid renal tumor [1 – 3]. Most AMLs contain fat that is clearly visible on CT and MR images, so these tumors can be easily diagnosed without biopsy or surgery. Approximately 5% of renal AMLs, however, have too little fat to be identified in a CT or MRI examination [3, 4].

The different faces of renal angiomyolipomas on radiologic …
Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is an uncommon renal tumour, generally composed of mature adipose tissue, dysmorphic blood vessels and smooth muscle. Identification of intratumoral fat on unenhanced CT images is the most reliable finding for establishing the diagnosis of renal AML.
Diagnosis of Renal Angiomyolipomas: Classic, Fat-Poor
2017年2月1日 · Because most RCC demonstrates early enhancement and rapid washout, 53 some have suggested that gradual enhancement on CT is suggestive of AML. 54 However, others maintain that most AMLs show early strong enhancement with subsequent washout. 45 These discrepancies may have been the result of including both hyperattenuating and …

Renal Angiomyolipoma Based on New Classification: How to
2019年1月8日 · CT or MRI features can provide clues for differentiating fat-rich AML from fat-containing RCC and fat-poor AML from clear cell RCC. Fat-invisible AML, however, is difficult to differentiate from non–clear cell RCC on the basis of CT or MRI features.
