Abstract
The review of 9 anatomically proved [human] cases of angiomyolipomas of the kidney revealed characteristic findings of marked echoes on ultrasonography and areas of fat attenuation on computerized transaxial tomography. The 2 findings should resolve the diagnostic dilemma in this benign lesion and prevent the need for operative intervention in most cases.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
