What is renal hamartoma? Does it need treatment?

Renal angiomyolipoma refers to renal angiomyolipoma, a benign renal tumor.

Renal angiomyolipoma is composed of smooth muscle, fat and abnormal blood vessels. The proportion of various components varies. The occurrence of the disease is related to genetic factors and gene mutations. The disease can be divided into two types: nodular sclerosis and non-nodular sclerosis.

Whether renal angiomyolipoma is treated is related to tumor size and symptoms.

Renal angiomyolipoma is less than 4 cm in diameter and does not cause symptoms. It can be observed first and not treated temporarily. If renal angiomyolipoma is greater than 4 cm in diameter, waist and abdomen pain, bleeding and other symptoms need to be treated.
