The Angularangular Interface sign is a sign used to characterize thecharacterise an exophytic renal mass, in which the exophytic renlrenal mass has an angular interface with the renal parenchyma. In other words, in another word the the exophytic lesion has a tapered pyramidal contour or definite apex  withinwithin the renal parenchyma. AngularDue to its high sensitivity and specificity, the angular Interface sign hasis a strong prediction of benignpredictor to identify lesions as cysteither cysts, benign tumours, or benign tumor as angiomyolipoma and other benign  tumor angiomyolipomas. it has high specificity and accuracy . itIt very rarely occurs with malignant lesions as renal cell carcinoma which have usual roundusually has a rounded interface with the renal parenchyma. itIt has high value to differentiateutility in differentiating between lipid poor angiomyolioma from angiomyoliomas and renal cell carcinoma containscarcinomas which contain intracellular lipids.
