To report a case of renal cortical hemangioma.
METHODS/RESULTS: A 38-year-old patient consulted for recurrent renal colic. The CT scan findings showed a cortical lesion in the right kidney that was compatible with a carcinoma. The patient underwent nephrectomy. Pathological analysis of the surgical specimen showed a 2.7 circumscribed cortical lesion that was found to be a hemangioma.
Renal hemangioma localized to the renal cortex can mimic a carcinoma.
