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.
