This study reports three cases of renal hemangioma, a rare kidney tumor, that caused hematuria (blood in urine). Successful treatment was achieved through partial nephrectomy, a kidney-sparing surgery.

Area of Science:

Urology
Nephrology
Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

Renal hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors of the kidney.
Hematuria is a potential presenting symptom, necessitating accurate diagnosis and management.
Angiography plays a crucial role in the preoperative evaluation of renal vascular lesions.

Observation:

Three patients presented with significant hematuria attributed to renal hemangioma.
Diagnostic angiography was performed in all cases to delineate the vascular supply and extent of the tumors.
All three renal hemangiomas were successfully treated with partial nephrectomy, preserving renal function.

Findings:

Renal hemangioma, though uncommon, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hematuria.

Angiography is an effective tool for diagnosing renal hemangioma and guiding surgical planning.

Partial nephrectomy offers a successful and organ-sparing treatment option for symptomatic renal hemangiomas.

Implications:

Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention can lead to favorable outcomes for patients with renal hemangioma.
This case series highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving urologists and radiologists.
Further research into the optimal management strategies for renal hemangiomas is warranted.
