Anastomosing hemangioma of the kidney
Diagnosis in short

LM vascular tumour with architecture similar to splenic sinsoids, hobnailing, +/-hyaline globules, +/-extramedullary hematopoesis
LM DDx angiosarcoma, other hemangiomas, other vascular tumours
IHC CD34 +ve, CD31 +ve, HHV-8
Gross brown/mahogany; lesion centered on medulla of kidney
Site kidney, other

Associated Dx +/-end stage renal disease
Prevalence very rare
Prognosis benign

Anastomosing hemangioma a rare benign vascular tumour that is typically found in the kidney and may mimic angiosarcoma.[1]

General

Gross

Features:

  • Mahogany/brown - centered on medulla of kidney.[2]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Vascular tumour characterized by vessels that fuse/join (anastomose) - also described as splenic sinusoids-like.[2]
  • +/-Extramedullary hematopoiesis.
    • Nucleated red blood cells.
    • Megakaryocytes.

Note:

  • Tumour may extend into surrounding adipose tissue.

DDx:

IHC

Features:[2]

  • CD31 +ve.
  • CD34 +ve.
  • HHV8 -ve.
