Anastomosing hemangioma of the genitourinary tract is a recently described vascular lesion of the kidneys and testes. Although these lesions can occur in the renal hilum with infiltration of the hilar adipose tissue, the presence of adipocytes in this type of vascular tumor has not been reported. We described a case of an anastomosing hemangioma associated with fatty changes of the stromal component in a 59-year-old female patient. This unusual morphologic finding not only represents a novel curiosity in this rare type of vascular lesion, but also could potentially pose significant diagnostic challenges as it is commonly mistaken as an angiomyolipoma.

Intrarenal hemangiomas lack concise clinicopathologic information, due to the predominance of single case reports and inclusion of other vascular neoplasms and hemangiomas of perirenal, hilar, and renal vein origin. Herein, in this multi-institutional study we evaluate clinicopathologic features of 39 intrarenal hemangiomas. The median age was 62 years (range = 27-94 years; 2:1 male to female ratio), with left-sided predominance (left = 21, right = 13; one case was bilateral).

Article Synopsis
- Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that primarily affect the skin and soft tissues, with anastomosing hemangioma (AH) being a specific subtype that mimics more serious conditions like angiosarcoma; there are fewer than 300 reported cases of renal hemangiomas.
- A case study of a 28-year-old male revealed a left renal mass identified during tests for abdominal pain, with subsequent imaging and surgery confirming the diagnosis of AH through histopathological analysis and specific immunohistochemical markers.
- Accurate diagnosis of AH is crucial to avoid unnecessary treatment and complications, highlighting the need for greater awareness and reporting in the medical community to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient management.
