How do I know if an angiomyolipoma needs treatment?

Some people with angiomyolipoma don’t need any treatment. Your care plan depends on the size of the tumor, whether you have any symptoms and whether you plan to become pregnant.

You’ll see your healthcare provider usually once a year to check the tumor’s growth. If the tumor is larger than 4 centimeters, your provider may recommend treatment.
