Can we predict the existence of extrarenal feeders to renal angiomyolipomas?

• The presence of extrarenal feeders to renal angiomyolipoma is associated with tumor size, but not with patient age, concomitant disease, or tumor location. • The largest diameter and volume predict the presence of extrarenal feeders to AML, with similar predictive values. • AMLs > 10.5 cm have a high chance (79%) of extrarenal feeders, making it mandatory to search for feeders to them in order to avoid incomplete embolization; AMLs ≤ 6.5 cm do not have extrarenal feeders, making a search for them unnecessary in these cases.
