Renal angiomyolipoma is an uncommon benign tumor that presents diagnostic and therapeutic problems. It may be unilateral or bilateral; in its bilateral form it is usually associated with tuberous sclerosis. As a mass lesion of the kidney, it resembles renal cell carcinoma on pyelography and angiography, but computerized axial tomography and ultrasonography may provide a definitive diagnosis. This benign tumour should be treated conservatively to preserve renal function, but surgical intervention is necessary if renal cell carcinoma cannot be excluded completely.
肾血管平滑肌脂肪瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤，存在诊断和治疗方面的问题。它可以是单侧的或双侧的；双侧形式通常与结节性硬化症相关。作为肾脏的肿块病变，在肾盂造影和血管造影上它类似于肾细胞癌，但计算机断层扫描和超声检查可能提供明确的诊断。这种良性肿瘤应保守治疗以保留肾功能，但如果不能完全排除肾细胞癌，则需要进行手术干预。
