Introduction:
Renal lymphangiectasia is a rare disorder of the lymphatic system that might be confused with various other renal cystic diseases and urinoma. Clinical presentation is non-specific and characteristic findings in radiologic imaging are the mainstay of diagnosis.
Case Presentation:
We reported a case of bilateral lymphangiectasia in a 32-year-old woman who presented with flank pain and hypertension.
Discussion:
Renal lymphangiectasia is an uncommon benign condition. Most of the cases improve with conservative treatment. Surgery is rarely required, except in cases such as those with persistent pain refractory to medication.
