angiomyolipoma kidney tumour?

A few months ago I started getting uti symptoms which are still ongoing. I had an ultrasound last week and it picked up a 4mm shadow on my left kidney. The doctors report said they believe it’s a angiomyolipoma. I stopped googling this shortly after I started as it terrified me with things like haemorrhaging etc. I’m an otherwise healthy 35yo woman. Has anyone had experience with one of these? I’m going to be having further tests in the coming weeks so they can rule out other things. I can’t help feeling that 4mm is really small to give that diagnosis based on an ultrasound, it’s apparently quite a rare benign tumour. I’m just really scared and wanted to see if anyone out there’s had one of these and knows anything about these/kidney ultrasounds? Thank you x

    Hi Coco,

    Welcome to our forum. I am afraid that I cannot help with this type of cancer, as I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer. However, if you want to find out more, you could try searching this forum, instead of scaring yourself on Google.

    If you go to the blue banner at the top of this page and click on it , then click on the search button and, insert angiomyolipoma kidney tumour, it will bring up previous posts on this topic.

    I hope that you get your other tests carried out soon. One good thing about this is that it's benign, so try not to worry about it.

    Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
