Cavernous Hemangioma of the Renal Hilum Presenting as an Avascularized Solid Mass

Abstract: Hemangiomas are slowly growing benign vascular tumours which rarely involve the kidney. They usually occur in the mucosa or subepithelial tissue of the pelvis, in the pyramid of the kidney and in the cortex. We report a case of cavernous hemangioma presenting as a solid, paradoxically avascular mass of the right renal hilum.

“…11 It was common in the renal pelvis (48.7%), followed by renal medulla (42.1%) and renal cortex (9.2%). 12 There is no difference in the incidence between men and women, which is usually unilateral and single, with only 12% of bilateral tumors. The diameter of lesion can range from several millimeters to 10 cm.…”
