Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign renal neoplasm. Preoperative diagnosis is important because of the different surgical approaches to benign and malignant tumors. Angiographic findings of AML and renal carcinoma may be similar and differentiation difficult. B‐mode ultrasound examination of AML demonstrates a different image pattern which may be helpful in differentiation.
