Renal lymphangiomatosis is a rare pathology wherein dilatation of perirenal, parapelvic, and intrarenal lymphatics is observed and can occur in both children and adults. It has no gender predilection and can present in unilateral and bilateral forms. Clinical symptomatology ranges from incidental findings to flank pain, hematuria, and abdominal swelling. Radiological appearances may mimic renal cysts, peripelvic cysts, perinephric abscesses, or collections. This emphasizes the importance of developing familiarity with the imaging characteristics of this rare entity. We present the case of an 11-year-old boy whose chief complaint was abdominal distension and bilateral flank pain. The radiological assessment revealed bilateral perinephric collections, which, along with clinical correlation, led to the diagnosis of bilateral peri-renal lymphangiomatosis.
肾淋巴管瘤病是一种罕见的病理情况,其中可观察到肾周、肾盂旁和肾内淋巴管扩张,可发生于儿童和成人。它无性别倾向,可呈单侧和双侧形式。临床症状从偶然发现到胁腹痛、血尿和腹部肿胀不等。影像学表现可能类似肾囊肿、肾盂旁囊肿、肾周脓肿或积液。这凸显了熟悉这种罕见疾病影像学特征的重要性。我们报告一例11岁男孩,其主要症状为腹胀和双侧胁腹痛。影像学评估显示双侧肾周积液,结合临床情况,诊断为双侧肾周淋巴管瘤病。
