More Information
Summary:Anastomosing haemangioma is a rare subtype of haemangioma, a benign vascular tumour. Its rarity stems from its low incidence and difficulty in obtaining an accurate diagnosis. In addition, its histological resemblance to malignant neoplasms may lead to unnecessary overtreatment. Here, we report the case of an asymptomatic male patient with a slight increase in kidney function who underwent an abdominal ultrasound and a CT scan for suspected renal cell carcinoma. Subsequently, the patient underwent laparoscopic left radical nephrectomy. Histological analysis revealed an anastomosing haemangioma. The patient is currently asymptomatic with no relapse or imaging progression. We also present a literature review on anastomosing haemangioma.
