[Renal heamangioma (author's transl)]

Two cases of renal haemangioma. The literature is reviewed, 150 cases being presented. The aetiology is variously taken to be a tumour or malformation. The predominant clinical sign is haematuria. The authors stress the difficulty of making the diagnosis preoperatively. Amongst the various histological types, the cavernous variety is the most common. Treatment is essentially surgical though radiotherapy has centain indications.
