What is a angiomyolipoma in the left kidney?
Breaking down each part of the term, "angio" means "blood vessel", "myo" means "muscle", and "lipoma" is a benign fatty tumor. Therefore, this is likely a tumor involving the fat and muscle layers of a blood vessel. While it may be classified as 'benign', this simply means the tumor has a low risk of spreading to other tissues - it is not 'benign' in the sense that any tumor that weakens the wall of a blood vessel may cause a sudden hole to rip in the blood vessel which could lead to sudden collapse and death.

Can benign kidney tumors turn cancerous if left untreated?
The tumor is confined to the kidney, but does not involve the capsule of tissue that surrounds the kidney. The tumor extends through the capsule of the kidney. The tumor shows evidence of lymph node involvement, or extends into the renal vein (the main blood vessel that carries blood from the kidney) or inferior vena cava (the large vein that drains blood back to the heart). The tumor has invaded organs adjacent to the kidney like the pancreas or bowel, or shows evidence of distant spread to organs such as the lungs.
