Summary
Renal hemangiomas are rare vascular tumors. Diagnosis can be challenging, with hematuria being the most common symptom, and surgery is the primary treatment.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Vascular Oncology
Background:
- Renal hemangiomas are uncommon benign vascular neoplasms of the kidney.
- Their etiology is debated, with theories suggesting neoplastic or malformative origins.
Observation:
- This review presents two cases of renal hemangioma and analyzes 150 cases from the literature.
- Hematuria is the predominant clinical manifestation observed in patients.
Findings:
- Preoperative diagnosis of renal hemangioma presents significant challenges.
- The cavernous hemangioma subtype is the most frequently encountered histological variant.
Implications:
- Surgical intervention is the mainstay of treatment for renal hemangiomas.
- Radiotherapy may be considered for specific indications in managing these tumors.
