Renal Hemangioma in an Infant

Abstract

A case of renal and skin hemangiomas in a female infant was reported. The skin tumors were found on the buttock and on the left arm at birth, and the abdominal tumor was palpated at the age of 4 days. Echogram and CT-scan revealed a 4 × 4 cm tumor in the right kidney. Right nephrectomy and resection of the skin tumors were performed. Those tumors in the right kidney and the skin pathologically examined were capillary hemangiomas. We reviewed 61 cases of renal hemangioma reported in Japan. The case we reported was the first case of renal hemangioma found in a neonate.
