Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to describe useful imaging features for differentiating angiomyolipoma (AML) subtypes from renal cell carcinoma subtypes. CONCLUSION. A newer radiologic classification of renal AML consists of fat-rich AML (≤ –10 HU), fat-poor AML (> –10 HU; tumor-to-spleen ratio < 0.71; signal intensity index, > 16.5%), and fat-invisible AML (> –10 HU; tumor-to-spleen ratio, > 0.71; signal intensity index, < 16.5%). Each subtype must be differentiated from the renal cell carcinoma subtype because of overlapping imaging features.
