What is an angiomyolipoma?

Also known as: kidney angiomyolipoma, renal angiomyolipoma, AML

An angiomyolipoma is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor that forms in one of the kidneys. It’s often referred to as renal angiomyolipoma. In some cases, it doesn’t cause any symptoms, but it may grow large enough to disrupt your daily life.
