Ultrasound
- tend to appear as hyperechoic lesions on ultrasound, located in the cortex and with posterior acoustic shadowing
- in the setting of tuberous sclerosis, they may be so numerous that the entire kidney is affected, appearing echogenic with loss of normal cortico-medullary differentiation
- contrast-enhanced ultrasound
- tend to enhance peripherally
- decreased central enhancement, compared with normal cortex
USG images demonstrate a large kidney angiomyolipoma
USG images demonstrate a large liver angiomyolipoma
