Are there different types of angiomyolipomas?

There are three types of AML kidney, based on the type of cells and tissue the tumor contains:

• Classic (triphasic) AMLs: Most angiomyolipomas (AMLs) contain three types of tissue — blood vessels, fat and smooth muscle tissue.
• Monophasic AMLs: Some AMLs contain almost all of one type of tissue, such as smooth muscle or fat.
• Epithelioid angiomyolipomas: These angiomyolipomas are mostly made up of cells that line your kidney’s blood vessels (epithelioid cells). These tumors may be more likely to become cancer.
