Abstract

Renal haemangioma (RH) is a rare congenital vascular lesion that is frequently responsible for macroscopic haematuria. This lesion is difficult to diagnose preoperatively despite progress in imaging techniques. These diagnostic difficulties account for the high rate of radical treatment (nephrectomy or nephro-ureterectomy) due to a suspicion of renal carcinoma or upper urinary tract tumour. However, conservative diagnostic and therapeutic management can be performed by a combination of CT angiography, flexible ureteroscopy and selective embolization.
