摘要
Background:Renal anastomosing hemangiomas(RAHs)are rare.This study aimed to summarize the clinical,pathological,and imag-ing characteristics of RAH.Materials and methods:We retrospectively analyzed 14 patients who underwent surgery for RAH at our center between December 2014 and December 2023.In addition,we conducted a literature review of case reports and case series on RAH published between 2009 and 2023.Results:Renal anastomosing hemangioma predominantly affected men and was typically solitary.More than half of the tumors were localized in the renal parenchyma.Approximately 70.7%(65/92)of patients were asymptomatic.The mean maximum tumor diameter was 20 mm(range,14–28 mm).A total of 35.2%(37/105)of patients had end-stage renal disease.Patients with end-stage renal dis-ease and RAH are generally younger and have bilateral multifocal tumors.However,these tumors were smaller in size.Continent of or-igin of patient and tumor location were significant factors influencing tumor size.No tumor recurrence or distant metastases were ob-served during a median follow-up period of 18 months.Postoperative pathological staining remains the criterion standard for diagnosing RAH;however,preoperative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging provides valuable diagnostic information.The RAH typically exhibits peripheral,discontinuous,and nodular enhancement during the corticomedullary phase,followed by centripetal fill-in enhance-ment during the excretory phase.Preoperative ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy is recommended when these characteristic magnetic resonance imaging features are observed.Conclusions:Renal anastomosing hemangioma is a rare benign renal tumor that is often misdiagnosed on imaging,leading to potential overtreatment.Surgeons must be well versed in the differential diagnosis of tumors to provide optimal treatment for patients.
