How fast does an angiomyolipoma grow?

Many classic angiomyolipomas don't grow at all. If these tumors do get larger, growth usually happens very slowly. On average, these tumors grow at about 0.19 centimeters — about one-sixteenth of an inch — each year. However, during pregnancy, these tumors can grow more rapidly. Therefore if you have an angiomyolipoma and are considering having a child, it may be prudent to treat the angiomyolipoma prior to pregnancy.
