First of all: renal angiomyolipoma, also known as renal angiomyolipoma, is a benign tumor composed of abnormal proliferative blood vessels, smooth muscle and adipose tissue in different proportions. Hamartoma can occur not only in kidney, but also in brain, eye, heart, lung, bone and other parts. Different diseases, the appropriate treatment is not the same, do not blindly treat.

Secondly, the tumor < 4cm can not be treated, but it should be followed up closely. According to our experience, the volume of the tumor does not shrink after embolization, but the bleeding can be stopped. Superselective renal artery branch embolization is often used to protect partial renal function.

Finally, unilateral renal hamartoma is a benign lesion with good prognosis. For patients with bilateral, multiple lesions and renal insufficiency, although conservative treatment, but still affect the quality of life. For a small number of cases involving multiple organs, such as lymph nodes, brain, heart, and even tumor thrombus invading blood vessels, the prognosis depends on the condition of the affected organs.
