“…To the best of our knowledge only two such cases of renal hemangioma arising from the renal sinus or hilum have been reported in the English literature [4,5]. Okuno et al [4] reported a case of renal hilar hemangioma, which on radiographic examination revealed a 3.5 cm mass at the renal hilum adjacent to renal parenchyma difficult to differentially diagnose from renal cell carcinoma (RCC).…”

“…Okuno et al [4] reported a case of renal hilar hemangioma, which on radiographic examination revealed a 3.5 cm mass at the renal hilum adjacent to renal parenchyma difficult to differentially diagnose from renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Haas et al [5] described a similar case of renal hilar tumor, however the CECT abdomen showed an enhancing soft tissue mass interposed between the right renal hilum and inferior vena cava and posteromedial to the second part of the duodenum.…”

The perirenal space, located between the anterior and the posterior renal fasciae, is shaped like an inverted cone with an apex that extends into the iliac fossa. Perirenal tumors and pseudotumors primarily originate either from the kidney or as part of a systemic disease process and have characteristic histopathologic features and biologic behavior. The lesions may be classified on the basis of their distribution and imaging features as solitary soft-tissue masses (renal cell carcinoma, lymphangioma, hemangioma, and leiomyoma), rindlike soft-tissue lesions (lymphoma, retroperitoneal fibrosis, and Erdheim-Chester disease), masses containing macroscopic fat (angiomyolipoma, liposarcoma, myelolipoma, and extramedullary hematopoiesis), and multifocal soft-tissue masses (metastases, plasma cell tumors). Because of overlap in imaging findings among these diverse perirenal lesions, a definitive diagnosis in most cases can be established only at histopathologic analysis. However, an imaging pattern-based approach may facilitate the diagnosis and optimal management of perirenal tumors and pseudotumors.
