What Are Angiomyolipomas?
Angiomyolipomas (AMLs) are benign tumors of the kidney composed of blood vessels, muscle tissue, and fat. While often asymptomatic, larger AMLs can cause pain, bleeding, or complications requiring treatment.
How Does Treatment Work?
We specialize in minimally invasive procedures that target and shrink angiomyolipomas without surgery. Using image-guided techniques, we precisely treat the tumor while preserving kidney function and reducing the risk of complications. This approach minimizes damage to healthy tissue and ensures the best possible outcomes. By avoiding the need for traditional surgery, we provide a quicker and safer alternative that reduces hospital stays and promotes a faster recovery.
Benefits of Angiomyolipoma Treatment
- No surgery, no long hospital stays
- Quick recovery with minimal discomfort
- Preserves kidney function and overall health
Minimally invasive treatments also offer the advantage of fewer risks compared to traditional surgery, and they reduce the chances of scarring. This treatment is designed to be effective, targeting the tumor while minimizing the impact on your everyday life.
Who Is a Candidate?
If you have a growing AML, experience symptoms such as pain or bleeding, or have a higher risk of complications due to tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), treatment may be recommended. Those with larger AMLs or a family history of kidney problems may also be candidates for early intervention. Regular monitoring is important to assess the tumor’s size and the necessity for treatment.

What can I expect during the procedure?
The angiomyolipoma treatment is performed in-office with local anesthesia. We use advanced imaging technology to guide the embolization process, which blocks the tumor’s blood supply. The procedure is minimally invasive, with minimal downtime.
How long does the recovery take?
Since the treatment is minimally invasive, most patients can return to their normal activities within a short time, typically within a few days. You may experience mild discomfort or soreness, but these symptoms usually resolve quickly.
Are there risks involved with angiomyolipoma treatment?
As with any medical procedure, there are some risks, such as minor bleeding or infection. However, these risks are minimal with our advanced, image-guided approach. We carefully evaluate each patient to ensure the safest and most effective treatment plan.
How soon will I see results?
Most patients notice symptom relief within weeks after the procedure as the angiomyolipoma shrinks. Regular follow-up visits will help ensure that the treatment is progressing as expected.
Is angiomyolipoma treatment safe?
Yes, angiomyolipoma treatments at FKMD are highly safe. We use minimally invasive procedures like embolization, guided by advanced imaging techniques, to ensure precision and reduce the risk of complications.
How does embolization work for angiomyolipomas?
Embolization is a non-surgical procedure where we block the blood supply to the angiomyolipoma. This process causes the tumor to shrink over time, relieving symptoms and minimizing the risk of further complications.
How long does the angiomyolipoma treatment procedure take?
The embolization procedure typically takes between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the complexity of the case. Afterward, patients are usually monitored for a short period before being discharged the same day.
