AMLs without visible fat are commonly resected benign renal neoplasms [7,8]; therefore, preoperative differentiation of AML without visible fat from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is desirable.Numerous CT and MRI findings associated with AML without visible fat have been reported [4,6,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Of these findings, low T2-weighted signal intensity (SI) is a characteristic finding because of the abundant smooth muscle content of AML without visible fat [5,6,17,20,21].
