Abstract
- Anastomosing hemangioma (AH), a rare benign vascular tumor, is a newly recognized variant of capillary hemangioma. In the microscopic examination, this tumor has characteristic feature of the unique anastomosing sinusoidal capillary sized vessels. It can be misdiagnosed as a malignancy such as renal cell carcinoma or angiosarcoma. Herein, we report a case of AH originating in the right kidney of a 43-year-old man, which was initially considered as cystic renal cell carcinoma on computed tomography (CT). The patient underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, but pathologic result was AH of the kidney. There was no evidence of recurrence or metastasis 5 months after the surgery.
