Treatment
Angiomyolipomas found incidentally usually require no therapy (when small), although follow-up is recommended to assess for growth. Small solitary AMLs (< 20 mm) probably do not require follow-up due to their slow growth.
Larger AMLs, or those that have been symptomatic, can be electively embolised and/or resected with a partial nephrectomy.
Lesions that present with retroperitoneal haemorrhage often requires emergency embolisation as a life saving measure.
