Article Synopsis
- Renal lymphangiectasia (RL) is a rare condition characterized by dilated lymphatic vessels leading to cysts in various kidney locations, and its understanding largely stems from individual case reports.
- The condition can be genetic or acquired, affects individuals of any gender or age, and often presents as abdominal or flank pain, being either focal or diffuse and unilateral or bilateral.
