A 39-year-old woman with tuberous sclerosis with enlarging right renal mass. ( a ) Coronal T2-weighted image demonstrating a large exophytic angiomyolipoma (AML) arising from the inferior pole of the right kidney (arrow). ( b ) Selective right renal artery angiography showing a single feeding artery supplying the large lower pole AML with typical vascular appearance. ( c ) Postembolization right renal artery angiography demonstrating cessation of flow to the feeding artery, with sparing of the remainder of the kidney. ( d ) Coronal T2-weighted image from MRI obtained 6 months following embolization shows a significant decrease in size of the right lower pole AML (arrow).

A 58-year-old man with chest and abdominal pain. ( a ) Coronal contrast-enhanced CT with findings of a large left renal mass consistent with renal cell carcinoma (arrow). ( b ) Selective left renal artery angiogram demonstrating supply to the hypervascular left renal mass. ( c ) Following coil embolization of three second-order arteries, a selective left renal artery angiography shows adequate stasis of flow.
