Angiomyolipoma (AML) Articles

SAN DIEGO, CA USA (UroToday.com) - Urologic literature contends that up to 20% of oncocytomas coexist as hybrid tumors with adjacent malignant pathology.

This study aimed to identify clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) histopathological grade and differentiate it from fat-poor angiomyolipoma (AML). This was achieved through contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) T1 mapping with intravenous low-dose gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA).
