Abstract:
Hemangioma in the urinary tract is a very rare benign tumor that usually causes painless or painful gross hematuria. Its preoperative diagnosis is extremely difficult or even impossible. A female 47-year old patient presented with painless gross hematuria that she'd experience for 4 days. The patient underwent abdominal ultrasound, intravenous pyelography (IVP), cystoscopy, urine cytology, retrograde pyelography (RGP), kidney dynamic computed tomography (CT) and surgical excision. She was finally diagnosed with cavernous hemangioma in the renal pelvis.
