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.

What region is the left kidney in?

Three horizontal lines and two vertical lines create nine regions of the abdomen. “Hypo” refers to “below”, “epi” refers to “above”, “chond-” refers to the cartilage of the rib and “gast-” is in reference to the stomach.The left hypochondrium is the region that the left kidney is located in. This area is one of two regions (left or right) of the abdomen, situated on each side of the epigastrium (above the stomach) and above the lumbar regions.Both are located against the back muscles in the upper abdominal area. They sit opposite each other on both the left and right side of the body; the right kidney, however, sits a little lower than the left to accommodate the size of the liver.Odd enough, this is where the seat of melancholy is supposed to be found.

"Frontal" refers to the front portion of the kidney or any structure, sagittal refers to an imaginary plane through the middle of the body, dividing into equal left and right portions.
