Abstract
- Renal hemangioma is a rare benign tumor which usually causes unexplained painless gross hematuria with clotsin the renal pelvis or ureter. It isgenerally venous origin but may be arterial or mixed venoarterial; it may becapillary but is generally cavernous type which has predilection of submucosal, papillary,and medullary locations.It is very important ot include renal hemangioma in the diffrential diagnosis in cases of unexplained grosshematuria with clots in order to save the renal parenchyme. And preoperative selective renal angiography can offerhelpful diagnostic informations and may be helpful to decide surgical procedure. A case of surgically proven renalhemangioma is reported with a brief review of the literatures.
