Prevalence very rare
Prognosis benign

Anastomosing hemangioma of the kidney a rare benign vascular tumour of kidney that may mimic angiosarcoma.[1]

General

  • Rare - case reports.
    • The bigger category vascular tumours of the kidney is rare; in the world literature (as of 2015), according to Omiyale, there are approximately 40 angiosarcoma and 220 hemangiomas.[2]
  • Typically seen in end stage renal disease.[3]

Gross

Features:

  • Mahogany/brown - centered on medulla of kidney.[3]

Microscopic

Features:

Note:

  • Tumour may extend into surrounding adipose tissue.

DDx:

IHC

Features:[3]

  • CD31 +ve.
