<unk> s are the most common benign tumour of the kidney. Although regarded as benign,<unk> s may grow such that kidney function is impaired or the blood vessels may dilate and burst, leading to bleeding.<unk> s are strongly associated with the genetic disease Tuberous Sclerosis, in which most individuals have several<unk> s affecting both kidneys. They are also commonly found in women with the rare lung disease lymphangioleiomyomatosis.<unk> s are less commonly found in the liver and rarely in other organs. Whether associated with these diseases or sporadic,<unk> s are caused by mutations in either the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, which govern cell growth and proliferation. They are composed of blood vessels, smooth muscle cells, and fat cells. Large<unk> s can be treated with embolisation. Drug therapy for<unk> s is at the research stage. The Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance has published guidelines on diagnosis, surveillance, and management.
