anastomosing hemangioma of the genitourinary tract

Anastomosing hemangioma of the genitourinary tract is a rare neoplasm displaying some overlapping features of both sinusoidal hemangioma and hobnail hemangioma of soft tissue and skin. However, in our opinion, it is a unique neoplasm with a proclivity for the kidney. (19606014)

Its anastomosing appearance can lead to concern for angiosarcoma but, despite small numbers and limited follow-up in our series, evidence to date supports that the lesion is benign. (19606014)
